Greenbank was an electoral district of Liverpool City Council between 2004 and 2023.

## Background

[edit]

The ward was created in 2004 from the majority of the former Arundel ward and parts of the former Aigburth and Picton wards.[1] The ward returned three councillors. It was part of the Liverpool Riverside parliamentary constituency.

The ward boundaries followed the West Coast Main Line, Smithdown Road, Penny Lane, the West Coast Main Line again, Rose Lane, North Mossley Hill Road, Carnatic Road, Mossley Hill Drive, Croxteth Gate, Ullet Road, Sefton Park Road, Lodge Lane, Fern Grove, Hartington Road, along the southern and eastern boundary of Toxteth Park Cemetery, Smithdown Road, Gainsborough Road and Wellington Road.[1]

The ward contained Greenbank Park, Greenbank Drive Synagogue, the University of Liverpool Greenbank Halls, Penny Lane, Liverpool College, Greenbank College and Sports Academy, Mossley Hill Hospital, Sefton Park Cricket Club, and the Grade 1 listed buildings: Church of St Agnes and St Pancras, Ullet Road Unitarian Church, St Clare's Church, Liverpool.[1]

The population of this ward at the 2011 census was 16,132.[2] and at the 2021 census was 15,268.[3]

The ward was dissolved following a 2022 review by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England which reduced the overall number of councillors and established new wards which were contested at the 2023 elections. Greenbank ward was distributed into the Arundel, Greenbank Park, Penny Lane, Princes Park, and Smithdown wards.[4]
