Vauxhall (Liverpool ward)

Vauxhall ward is an electoral division of Liverpool City Council centred on the Vauxhall area of the city. It was created in 1835 as an original ward of Liverpool Town Council under the Municipal Corporations Act 1835 when three councillors were elected. Its boundaries were changed in 1953 before being merged into the Sandhills, Vauxhall ward in 1973. It returned as Vauxhall in 1980 before being dissolved in 2004 where it was divided into the new Kirkdale and Everton wards.[1]

The ward was recreated 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 Vauxhall ward was reinstated as a two-member ward from the south-east corner of the former Kirkdale ward and the north-west corner of the former Everton ward.[2]
