Liskeard West and Dobwalls (electoral division)

Liskeard West and Dobwalls (Cornish: Lyskerrys West ha Fosow Dobb)[1] was an electoral division of Cornwall in the United Kingdom which returned one member to sit on Cornwall Council between 2013 and 2021. It was abolished at the 2021 local elections; most of the division was made into a part of the new, larger Liskeard South and Dobwalls division, but a small piece of land was absorbed into the Liskeard Central division.[note 1]
