Riverside ward was an electoral division of Liverpool City Council covering the southern city centre, the Dingle, and parts of Toxteth.

Background edit

The ward was established in 2004 and dissolved in 2023.

2004 boundaries edit

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. The ward was formed from the former Abercromby and Dingle wards.[1] The ward was part of the Liverpool Riverside Parliamentary constituency.

The ward boundaries followed Hartley Quay, Salthouse Quay, Canning Place, Hanover Street, Ranelagh Street, Renshaw Street, Leece Street, Hardman Street, Hope Street, Windsor Street, Northumberland Street, Park Road, Dingle Lane, the southeastern and southwestern boundaries of Shorefields Village, Ellerman Road and the River Mersey.[1]

The population of the ward taken at the 2011 census was 18,422,[2] and at the 2021 Census was 23,044.[3]

2023 elections edit

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 City Centre South, Dingle, Festival Gardens, and Waterfront South wards, and small parts of the new Canning, City Centre North, Toxteth wards.[4]
