The ward was formed from the former Little Woolton and Much Woolton wards.
The ward was part of the Liverpool Garston Parliamentary constituency.
1973 election
Following the Local Government Act 1972 the ward boundaries of the council were altered. The number of wards was reduced from 40 to 33 and the aldermanic system was abolished. Woolton was split into the Woolton East and Woolton West wards.[1]
1980 boundaries
![Map of the 1980 boundaries of Woolton ward](../I/Liverpool_Woolton_(1980_ward).svg.png.webp)
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. Woolton ward was reestablished to be represented by three councillors.[2]
The report describes the boundaries of Woolton ward as "Commencing at a point where Allerton Road (northern carriageway) meets Menlove Avenue, thence northwestwards along said avenue to the southern boundary of Church Ward, thence northeastwards along said boundary and northwestwards along the eastern boundary of said ward to the southern boundary of Childwall Ward, thence southeastwards along said boundary and generally northeastwards, northwestwards and northeastwards along the southeastern boundary of said ward to the southwestern boundary of Valley Ward, thence southeastwards along said boundary and the southwestern boundary of Netherley Ward to the eastern boundary of the City, thence southwestwards and southwards along said boundary to a point opposite Manor Way, thence westwards to and along said Way to North Manor Way, thence northwards and generally southwestwards along said way to Manor Way thence southwestwarde along said way to Manor Road, thence northwestwards along said road and Speke Road to High Street (Northern carriageway), thence southwestwards along said street and Allerton Road (northern carriageway) to the point of commencement".[3]
The ward was part of the Liverpool Garston Parliamentary constituency.[4]
2004 boundaries
![A map of the city of Liverpool showing 2004 council ward boundaries. Woolton ward is highlighted](../I/Liverpool_Woolton_(2004_ward).svg.png.webp)
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. Woolton ward was changed to gain small parts of the former Allerton and Church wards, and losing a small part to the new Allerton and Hunts Cross (ward).[5]
The ward boundaries follow the North Liverpool Extension Line, Out Lane, Kings Drive, Speke Road, School Lane, the southern boundary of Woolton Woods, Hillfoot Road, Menlove Avenue, Druid's Cross Road, Hornby Lane, Woolton Road, the southern boundary of Childwall Woods, Childwall Lane, the nothern property line of Well Lane and Viewpark Close.[5]
Until 2010 the ward was part of the Liverpool Garston Parliamentary constituency[4] and from 2010 part of the Garston and Halewood Parliamentary constituency.
The population of the 2004 ward at the 2021 census was 13,126.[6]
2023 elections
Following a 2022 review by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England which decided that the existing 30 wards each represented by three Councillors should be replaced by 64 wards represented by 85 councillors, the ward was split up into the new Calderstones, Gateacre, Much Woolton and Hunts Cross, Woolton Village wards.[7]
