West Derby Leyfield ward is an electoral district of Liverpool City Council within the Liverpool West Derby constituency.
The ward was created for the elections held on 4 May 2023 following a 2022 review by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England, which decided that the previous 30 wards each represented by three Councillors should be replaced by 64 wards represented by 85 councillors with varying representation by one, two or three councillors per ward. The West Derby Leyfield ward was created as a single-member ward from parts of the former Knotty Ash, West Derby, and Yew Tree wards. [1]
The ward boundaries follow Town Row, Leyfield Road, Yew Tree Road, behind St Vincent's School, around but not including Stanier Close, behind Kingsheath Avenue, East Prescot Road and Eaton Road. The ward is part of the West Derby district of Liverpool, and includes Cardinal Heenan Catholic High School, Broughton Hall High School and the Zoe's Place Baby Hospice. [1]
