Under the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the constituency will revert to its previous name of Lowestoft.[2] This bears little resemblance to the new āWaveney Valleyā seat, which covers a predominantly rural area bridging Norfolk and Suffolk. The town of Bungay will be transferred to Waveney Valley.
