Background

The ward was created for the elections held on 4 May 2023 following a 2022 review by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England, which decided that the previous 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 Fazakerley West ward was created as a single-member ward from the western quarter of the former Fazakerley ward and a small portion of the former Norris Green ward.[1] The ward boundaries follow Longmoor Lane, Higher Lane, the Kirkby branch of the Northern Line, Longmoor Lane, Lower Lane, the East Lancashire Road, Stopgate Lane, and Lone Lane.[1] The ward contains Aintree University Hospital, Everton Cemetery, and HM Prison Altcourse.
