Extent

[edit]

Wadebridge West represented the west of the town of Wadebridge.[1] The division was nominally abolished during boundary changes at the 2013 election, but this had little effect on the ward. From 2009 to 2013, the division covered 210 hectares in total; after the boundary changes in 2013, it covered 209 hectares.[1][2]
