West Derby Deysbrook ward is an electoral district of Liverpool City Council within the Liverpool Wavertree constituency.

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 Deysbrook ward was created as a single-member ward from the western half of the former Yew Tree ward and a small part of the former West Derby ward.[1]

The ward boundaries follow the southern boundary of Croxteth Park, Princess Drive, Yew Tree Lane, behind Yew Tree Close and St Andrews Avenue, Leyfield Road and Town Row. The ward is part of the West Derby district of Liverpool, and includes West Derby Golf Course, St Vincent's School and Blackmoor Park Infants School.[1]
