St Michael's (Liverpool ward)

St. Michaels is a Liverpool City Council Ward within the Liverpool Riverside Parliamentary constituency. The population of the 2004 ward at the 2011 census was 12,991.[1]

History

The ward was formed for the 2004 Municipal elections from the former Aigburth and Dingle wards.[2] The ward returned seven Councillors.[3] John Coyne defected to the Green Party from the Liberal Democrats in 2006 and was re-elected with the Green Party twice: in 2007 and 2011. Cllr Sharon Green resigned from the Liberal Democrat whip to sit as an Independent on 6 May 2011 following the suspension of former leader Warren Bradley from the party.[4]

The ward boundaries were changed in 2023 following a review by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England which 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. The St Michael's ward was reformed as a single-member ward. The ward boundaries retained the centre of the 2004 ward, losing the southern section to the new Festival Gardens ward and the northern section to the new Sefton Park ward.[5]
