Aigburth ward is an electoral district of Liverpool City Council within the Liverpool Riverside Parliamentary constituency.

Background[edit]

The ward was created in 1902 within the Liverpool East Toxteth constituency, when three councillors were elected. The boundaries were altered for the 1953 election, 1973 and 1980 elections. Between 1950 and 1983 it was within the Liverpool Garston constituency and between 1983 and 1997 the Liverpool Mossley Hill constituency.

1980 boundaries[edit]

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. Aigburth ward was represented by three councillors.[1]

The report describes the boundaries as "Commencing at a point where the western boundary of the City meets the southeastern boundary of Dingle Ward, thence northeastwards along said boundary and northwestwards along the northeastern boundary of said ward to the southeastern boundary of Granby Ward, thence northeastwards along said boundary to the southern boundary of Arundel Ward, thence northeastwards, southeastwards and generally eastwards along said boundary to the southwestern boundary of Church Ward, thence southeastwards along said boundary and continuing along the railway to a point being the prolongation northeastwards of Kirkraore Road, thence southwestwards along said prolongation and said road, crossing Brodie Avenue and Cooper Avenue North and continuing southwestwards along Mentmore Road to Mossley Hill Road, thence southwards along said road to Holmefield Road, thence southwestwards along said road ,to Aigburth Road, thence northwestwards along said road to Alresford Road, thence southwestwards along said road to Hailsham Road, thence northwestwards along said road to Mersey Road, thence southwestwards along said road to Otterspool Drive, thence due southwestwards to the western boundary of the City, thence northwestwards along said boundary to the point of commencement".[2]

2004 election[edit]

The ward was dissolved in 2004 where it was distributed into the new St Michael's, Mossley Hill and Greenbank wards.

2023 boundaries[edit]

A 2022 review by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England decided that the existing 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.[3] The Aigburth ward was reinstated as a smaller, single-member ward from a section of the previous Mossley Hill ward.

The new ward boundaries follow Aigburth Vale, Elmswood Road, North Sudley Road, behind Barkhill Road, Aigburth Road, behind Liverpool Cricket Club and the Alfred Holt Athletic Ground, the River Mersey, Jericho Lane and Otterspool Road. The ward contains Otterspool Promenade, Aigburth railway station, and St Margaret's Church of England Academy.[3]

The population of the ward at the 2021 census was 5,560.[4]
