West Derby ward was an electoral district of Liverpool City Council from 1835 to 1953 and again from 2004 to 2023.

Background

[edit]
1835 ward boundaries

The ward was created in 1835 as an original ward of Liverpool Town Council under the Municipal Corporations Act 1835. The ward was dissolved following the boundary changes ahead of the 1953 Liverpool City Council election.

2004 boundaries

[edit]

The ward was re-created for the 2004 Liverpool City Council election. Where it replaced most of the pre-2004 Croxteth ward, incorporating small parts of Gilmoss and Broadgreen wards.[1]

The ward was centred on West Derby village. Its boundaries followed Croxteth Hall Lane, Deysbrook Lane, Melwood Drive, Crown Road, Deysbrook Lane, Leyfield Road, Honey's Green Lane, Eaton Road, Mill Lane, Queens Drive, Muirhead Avenue, Dwerryhouse Lane, the southern boundary of De La Salle School, and Elwick Drive. It contained Croxteth Park, Blackmoor Park Junior school, St. Paul's primary school, St. Mary's primary school and Holly Lodge secondary school.

The population of the ward at the 2021 census was 13,837.[2]

The ward was again dissolved in 2023 where it was split into the new Sandfield Park, West Derby Deysbrook, West Derby Leyfield, and West Derby Muirhead wards.[3]
