Horwich North East is an electoral ward in the Metropolitan Borough of Bolton in Greater Manchester, England. The ward had previously been known as Horwich North, Central and East (1973–1980) and shortened to Horwich (1980–2004). Horwich North East ward elects three Councillors to Bolton Metropolitan Borough Council using the first past the post electoral method, electing one Councillor every year without election on the fourth.

Background

edit

Horwich had been in one of the autonomous townships of the ancient parish of Deane in the Salford Hundred of the historic county of Lancashire until the mid-19th century. In 1866, it gained civil parish status in its own right. A Local Government Board was established for the civil parish of Horwich in 1872, and it assumed extra duties as an urban sanitary district in 1875. Horwich Local Board was replaced by an elected urban district council of twelve members in 1894. Horwich Urban District Council had four electoral wards: Central, East, North, and South, each represented by three councillors.

Under the Local Government Act 1972, Horwich Urban District was abolished on 1 April 1974 and its former area became a successor parish in the Metropolitan Borough of Bolton in Greater Manchester.

Metropolitan borough ward

edit

Three wards of the former urban district merged to become the Horwich North, Central and East ward as one of the electoral wards of the Metropolitan Borough of Bolton for the 1973 to 1979 elections. Following ward boundary changes, it was renamed as simply the Horwich ward for the 1980 to 2003 elections.

Following further boundary changes, it was renamed again as the Horwich North East ward for the 2004 election. The ward covers the northern and eastern areas of the town of Horwich. At the 2011 United Kingdom census, the electoral ward had a population of 12,327. It is also one of the seven wards which form the Bolton West constituency and has been represented in the House of Commons by the ConservativeParty MP Chris Green since 2015.
