Have your say on a new political map for Knowsley Council

New boundaries are being proposed for council wards in Knowsley Council.

The Local Government Boundary Commission wants to hear what residents and local organisations think about the proposals. A ten-week consultation on the proposals will run until 7 September 2026.

The Commission is the independent body that draws these boundaries. It is reviewing Knowsley to make sure councillors will represent about the same number of electors, and that ward arrangements will help the council work effectively.

The Commission has published proposals for changes to Knowsley. It is proposing that there should be 45 councillors representing 15 three-councillor wards, the same as the existing arrangements. The boundaries of eight wards will change.

Proposed changes include:

• In Kirkby residents of the roads off Britonside Avenue to be included in Cherryfield ward
• In Huyton, Coral Avenue, Crosswood crescent and White Lodge Avenue to be in Roby ward while Cassino Road moves into St Michaels ward

Launching the consultation, Bev Smith, Chair of the Commission, said: "Knowsley is a unique place and we want residents to help us get these boundaries right. We have drawn up proposals for new wards and want to make sure they truly reflect local communities - but we need to hear from the people who know those communities best.

"Whether you agree with our proposals or think something should change, please let us know. Every response helps us make better decisions. Getting involved is straightforward - visit our website, send us an email or write to us. We would love to hear from you."

The Commission has a dedicated section on its website where people can see the detail of the proposals and comment on the names of wards and their boundaries.
