...previously I was in North East Derbyshire, which appears unchanged. I now live in Penistone and Stocksbridge, a highly marginal seat currently held by Labour straddling the Sheffield / Barnsley border which is being broken up under these proposals.

Under these proposals I will be in Sheffield North and Ecclesfield, which would be a safe Labour seat. Much of the old constituency is becoming Barnsley West and Stocksbridge. Bizarrely, Penistone is being lumped in with West Yorkshire's Colne Valley,

I guess that Penistone must be the last bit of Yorkshire that the Boundary Commission get round to when they look at Yorkshire!
