Background

edit

2023 ward

edit

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 Muirhead ward was created as a single-member ward from the north-eastern part of the former West Derby ward and part of the former Croxteth ward.[1]

The ward boundaries follow Storrington Avenue, Worrow Road, behind Carr Lane East, Croxteth Hall Lane, the southern boundary of Croxteth Park, behind Town Row to West Derby Village, Almonds Green, Muirhead Avenue East, and Dwerryhouse Lane. The ward is part of the West Derby district of Liverpool, and includes Croxteth Park and De La Salle Academy.[1]
