For the2023 review of Westminster constituencies, which redrew the constituency map ahead of the2024 United Kingdom general election, theBoundary Commission for England opted to combine Norfolk with Suffolk as a sub-region of theEast of England region, with the creation of the cross-county boundary constituency ofWaveney Valley, which incorporated areas transferred from South Norfolk to the north of theRiver Waveney, including the towns ofDiss andHarleston. To compensate South Norfolk,Wymondham was transferred in from Mid Norfolk.
Apart from changes to align with new ward boundaries, the only other adjustment was to moveDrayton from Broadland (renamedBroadland and Fakenham) to Norwich North.[3][4]
