Contents

Background

The ward was first formed in 1953, its boundaries were changed in 1973, 1980 and 2004 before being split up for the 2023 elections.

1980 boundaries

1980 ward boundaries

A report of the Local Government Boundary Commission for England published in November 1978 set out proposals for changes to the wards of Liverpool City Council, maintaining the number of councillors at 99 representing 33 wards. Croxteth ward was represented by three councillors. [1]

The report describes the boundaries as "Commencing at a point where the eastern boundary of Warbreck Ward meets the northern boundary of the City, thence generally eastwards along said City boundary and southeastwards along the northeastern boundary of the City to Stonebridge Lane, thence southeastwards along said lane to East Lancashire Road, thence southwestwards along said road to the access way between East Lancashire Road and Sparrow Hall Road to the east of No 151 East Lancashire Road, thence northwestwards along said access way to Sparrow Hall Road, thence westwards along said road to Landford Avenue, thence southwestwards along said avenue to Waresley Crescent, thence generally northwestwards along said crescent to Studland Road, thence westwards along said road to Hursley Road, thence northwards along said road to Long Lane, thence southwestwards along said lane to the eastern boundary of Warbreck Ward, thence generally northwestwards along said boundary to the point of commencement". [2]

2004 boundaries

A review by the Boundary Committee for England recommended that the council was formed of a reduced number of 90 members elected from 30 wards. [3]

The new ward retained the majority of the former ward, losing a small part to the new Norris Green ward and taking in parts of the former Gillmoss and Warbreck wards. [3] The ward was part of the Liverpool Walton Parliamentary constituency.

The population of the ward at the 2021 Census was 16,374. [4]

The ward was dissolved at the 2023 elections where it was distributed into the new Fazakerley East, Fazakerley North wards, Fazakerley West and a small part of the Walton ward. [5]
