Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat was abolished and subjected to major boundary changes as a result of the realignment of the boundary between this seat and West Bromwich East, resulting in the loss of the Oldbury and Tividale wards in exchange for the Friar Park and Hateley Heath wards. The replacement seat also includes the Dudley ward of Coseley East from Wolverhampton South East and will be reformed as Tipton and Wednesbury, to be first contested at the 2024 general election.[2]
