'''Picton ward''' was an electoral division of [[Liverpool City Council]] centred on the [[Edge Hill, Liverpool]] district of [[Liverpool]]. |
|||
==Background== |
|||
The [[Ward (politics)|ward]] was first established in 1953 and its boundaries were changed in 1974, 1980 and 2004 before being dissolved in 2023. |
|||
===1980 boundaries=== |
|||
[[File:Liverpool Old Swan (1980 ward).svg|thumb|left|alt=A map showing the ward boundaries of the 1980 Kensington ward|1980 Old Swan ward]] |
|||
The ward boundary was changed for the [[1980 Liverpool City Council election|1980]] elections. A report of the [[Local Government Boundary Commission for England]] published in November 1978 set out proposals for changes to the wards of Liverpool City Council, maintaining the number of councillors at 99 representing 33 wards. Picton ward was represented by three councillors.<ref>The City of Liverpool (Electoral Arrangements) Order 1979</ref> |
|||
The report describes the boundaries of Picton ward as "Commencing at a point where [[Smithdown Road, Liverpool|Smithdown Road]] meets the eastern boundary of [[Smithdown (Liverpool ward)#1980 boundaries|Smithdown Ward]], thence generally northeastwards, generally northwestwards and southeastwards along said boundary to the southern boundary of [[Kensington & Fairfield (Liverpool ward)#1980 boundaries|Kensington Ward]], thence eastwards along said boundary to Rathbone Road, thence southwestwards along said road to Shanklin Road, thence eastwards and southwards along said road to Sandown Road, thence eastwards and southwestwards along said road and continuing southwestwards along Sandown Lane to High Street, thence southeastwards along said street to Grange Terrace, thence southwestwards along said terrace and continuing southwards along the path across Wavertree Playground, between Grange Terrace and Smithdown Road, to Smithdown Road, thence westwards along said road to Garmoyle Road, thence northwestwards along said road to Wellington Avenue, thence southwestwards along said avenue to Smithdown Road, thence northwestwards along said road to the point of commencement".<ref name="lgbce80">{{cite web |title=Report No.319 |url=http://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/lgbce/__data/assets/pdf_file/0018/11646/319.-liverpool.pdf |publisher=Local Government Boundary Commission For England |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220320084653/http://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/lgbce/__data/assets/pdf_file/0018/11646/319.-liverpool.pdf |archive-date=2022-03-20}}</ref> |
|||
===2004 boundaries=== |
|||
A review by the Boundary Committee for England recommended that the council was formed of a reduced number of 90 members elected from 30 wards. The ward was formed from the former Picton ward, losing some of the pre-2004 ward and gaining from the former [[Kensington & Fairfield (Liverpool ward)#1980 boundaries|Kensington]], [[Smithdown (Liverpool ward)#1980 boundaries|Smithdown]] and [[Arundel (Liverpool ward)#1980 boundaries|Arundel]] wards.<ref name="bce03">{{cite web|url=http://www.lgbce.org.uk/all-reviews/north-west/merseyside/liverpool|title=Boundary Commission Report|date=15 May 2010}}</ref> The ward was part of the [[Liverpool Wavertree (UK Parliament constituency)|Liverpool Wavertree]] Parliamentary constituency. |
|||
The population at the [[United Kingdom Census 2011|2011 census]] was 17,009,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/dissemination/LeadKeyFigures.do?a=7&b=13689412&c=Picton&d=14&e=62&g=6349489&i=1001x1003x1032x1004&m=0&r=1&s=1452609116094&enc=1|title=City of Liverpool Ward population 2011|access-date=12 January 2016}}</ref> and at the [[United Kingdom Census 2021|2021 Census]] was 18,906.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.citypopulation.de/en/uk/northwestengland/wards/liverpool/E05000905__picton/ |website=citypopulation.de |title=Picton (Ward, United Kingdom) - Population Statistics, Charts, Map and Location |access-date=23 July 2023}}</ref> |

Picton ward was an electoral division of Liverpool City Council centred on the Edge Hill, Liverpool district of Liverpool.
Background
[edit]The ward was first established in 1953 and its boundaries were changed in 1974, 1980 and 2004 before being dissolved in 2023.
1980 boundaries
[edit]The ward boundary was changed for the 1980 elections. A report of the Local Government Boundary Commission for England published in November 1978 set out proposals for changes to the wards of Liverpool City Council, maintaining the number of councillors at 99 representing 33 wards. Picton ward was represented by three councillors.[1]
The report describes the boundaries of Picton ward as "Commencing at a point where Smithdown Road meets the eastern boundary of Smithdown Ward, thence generally northeastwards, generally northwestwards and southeastwards along said boundary to the southern boundary of Kensington Ward, thence eastwards along said boundary to Rathbone Road, thence southwestwards along said road to Shanklin Road, thence eastwards and southwards along said road to Sandown Road, thence eastwards and southwestwards along said road and continuing southwestwards along Sandown Lane to High Street, thence southeastwards along said street to Grange Terrace, thence southwestwards along said terrace and continuing southwards along the path across Wavertree Playground, between Grange Terrace and Smithdown Road, to Smithdown Road, thence westwards along said road to Garmoyle Road, thence northwestwards along said road to Wellington Avenue, thence southwestwards along said avenue to Smithdown Road, thence northwestwards along said road to the point of commencement".[2]
2004 boundaries
[edit]A review by the Boundary Committee for England recommended that the council was formed of a reduced number of 90 members elected from 30 wards. The ward was formed from the former Picton ward, losing some of the pre-2004 ward and gaining from the former Kensington, Smithdown and Arundel wards.[3] The ward was part of the Liverpool Wavertree Parliamentary constituency.
The population at the 2011 census was 17,009,[4] and at the 2021 Census was 18,906.[5]
