UK Parliament constituency Birkenhead

Prenton is a Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council Ward in the Birkenhead Parliamentary constituency. Through the first decade of the twenty-first century, the ward was in Liberal Democrat hands, before shifting firmly to Labour in the second. But the 2019 council elections saw a swing to the Green Party that has been presented as characteristic of the Green gains in English council elections that year. [2]
