Following their review of parliamentary representation in South Yorkshire, the Boundary Commission for England has split the existing Barnsley East seat from Mexborough, to create a smaller modified Barnsley East constituency.This means the 2005 election was the last for the current Barnsley East/Mexborough constituency. The electoral wards used in the formation of the new East division are:
- Cudworth, Darfield, Hoyland Milton, North East, Rockingham, Stairfoot, Wombwell and Worsbrough.
