Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat will be subject to boundary changes, which will entail the loss of the two Dearne wards, offset by the addition of the City of Doncaster wards of Conisbrough, and Edlington and Warmsworth. As a consequence of these changes, it will be renamed Rawmarsh and Conisbrough, to be first contested at the 2024 general election.[2]
