Kirkdale East ward is an electoral district of Liverpool City Council within the Liverpool Riverside constituency.

Background[edit]

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 Kirkdale East ward was created as a single-member ward from the north-eastern corner of the former Kirkdale ward.[1] The ward boundaries follow Spellow Lane, Walton Lane, Everton Valley, Kirkdale Road, Smith Street, Westminster Road, behind Antonio Street to the junction with Cambridge Road cutting across to Carisbrooke Street.[1] The ward is part of the Kirkdale district of Liverpool, England.
