The Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) is set to begin an Electoral Review of Knowsley Council, to ensure that local areas within the borough are fairly and evenly represented.
The review will look at the current ward boundaries within Knowsley, sizes and population, ensuring they reflect the latest, and future, demographic and electoral data.
Knowsley currently has 15 electoral wards. Each ward elects 3 councillors, making a total of 45 councillors. The review will consider whether any changes need to be made to these wards, or the number of elected members overall.
As part of their review, representatives from the Boundary Commission will be attending a number of events in Knowsley to explain the process, set out the formal public consultation timeline, and answer any questions you may have. Each session will last around 45 minutes.
These events are taking place as follows:-
Thursday 13 November 2025
- 12.30pm, Hollies Hall, Hollies Road, Halewood, L26 0TH
- 3.30pm, Volair Leisure Centre, Cherryfield Drive, Kirkby, L32 8SA
- 6pm, Council Chamber, Huyton Municipal Building, Archway Road, Huyton, L36 9YU. This session will be livestreamed and the link will be available on the Council’s website here.
Friday 14 November 2025
- 9.30am, Prescot Town Hall, 1 Warrington Road, Prescot, L34 5QX
Further information can be found on the Boundary Commission website.
Once complete, it is expected that the changes will come into effect in May 2028. The local elections in Knowsley in 2028 will therefore be ‘all-out’ elections, with all council seats contested.
