Boundaries
The current constituency boundaries were established in 1995 by the Boundary Commission. Ilford North is composed of the local government wards of Aldborough, Barkingside, Woodford Bridge, Clayhall, Fairlop, Fullwell, Hainault, and Roding. Also included is a polling district from the Wanstead ward and one from the Snaresbrook ward.
In boundary changes in place for the United Kingdom general election, 2010, other than removing those districts in Wanstead and Snaresbrook no other changes are made.
The proposed new boundary, recommended by the Boundary Commission review published in September 2011 retains the bulk of the seat, but with significant variations. The new seat would consist of Aldborough; Barkingside; Chadwell; Fairlop; Fulwell; Hainault; Newbury; Seven Kings.
Woodford Bridge, Roding and Clayhall would move to the proposed revived seat of Wanstead and Woodford. Seven Kings and Newbury would move from the abolished seat of Ilford South.

Famous quotes containing the word boundaries:
“The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins?”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
“Women’s art, though created in solitude, wells up out of community. There is, clearly, both enormous hunger for the work thus being diffused, and an explosion of creative energy, bursting through the coercive choicelessness of the system on whose boundaries we are working.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“Not too many years ago, a child’s experience was limited by how far he or she could ride a bicycle or by the physical boundaries that parents set. Today ... the real boundaries of a child’s life are set more by the number of available cable channels and videotapes, by the simulated reality of videogames, by the number of megabytes of memory in the home computer. Now kids can go anywhere, as long as they stay inside the electronic bubble.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
