Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat will be subject to boundary changes which will expand it into the Borough of Ribble Valley, including the town of Clitheroe. As a consequence, it will be renamed Pendle and Clitheroe, to be first contested at the next general election.[3]
