SOME Oxfordshire householders may find themselves casting a vote in a different constituency, as boundary changes come into force for the first time.

Douglas Smith and his wife Margaret are staunch Conservatives from Begbroke, supporting high-profile Tory candidates in the Witney constituency such as Douglas Hurd and David Cameron.

But they were stunned to find they are now living in Oxford West & Abingdon.

A Boundary Commission spokesman said individual households were not notified of changes, but said notices were placed in newspapers in 2004.
