Background edit

The ward was created in 1835 as an original ward of Liverpool Town Council under the Municipal Corporations Act 1835. The ward boundaries were changed in 1953 and in 1973 was merged into the Central, Everton, Netherfield ward before being re-established in 1980. The boundaries were again changed in 2004 and the ward was split into three parts in 2023.

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. Croxteth 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 southern boundary of Vauxhall Ward, thence generally eastwards along said ward boundary and northwards and eastwards along the eastern boundary of said ward to the western boundary of Breckfield Ward, thence generally southeastwards along said boundary and eastwards along the southern boundary of said ward to the western boundary of Kensington Ward, thence southeastwards and southwestwards along said boundary and continuing southwestwards along West -Derby Road and Brunswick Road to Moss Street, thence southwards along said street and Daulby Street to Pembroke Place, thence northwestwards along said place and London Road to Seymour Street, thence southeastwards along said street to Copperas Hill, thence southwestwards along said Hill and Ranelagh Street to Church Street, thence generally westwards along said street and Lord Street to Derby Square, thence generally southwestwards along the eastern and southeastern side of said square to Redcross Street, thence continuing southwestwards along said street to Strand Street, thence due southwestwards to the western boundary of the City, thence northwestwards along said boundary to the point of commencement.[2]

In 2004 the ward was distributed into the new Everton ward, Central ward, and Kirkdale ward.

2004 boundaries edit

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. Everton ward was formed from the former Breckfield and Everton wards, with small parts of the former Kensington and Vauxhall wards.[3]

The ward boundaries followed Everton Valley, Walton Breck Road, Oakfield Road, Belmont Road, West Derby Road, Brunswick Road, New Islington, Hunter Street, Byrom Street, Scotland Road, and Kirkdale Road.[3]

The population of the ward at the 2021 Census was 17,454.[4]

2023 election edit

The ward was dissolved in 2023 where it was distributed into the new Everton East, Everton North, Everton West, and Vauxhall wards.
