The
ward was created in 1920 from the former Allerton, Childwall & Little Woolton ward. Its boundaries were changed for the 1953, 1973 and 1980 elections.
1953 boundaries 1980 boundaries 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. Aigburth ward was represented by three councillors. The report describes the boundaries as "Commencing at a point where the eastern boundary of the City meets the West Allerton - Widnes railway, thence westwards and northwestwards along said railway to the eastern boundary of
Grassendale Ward, thence generally northwestwards along said boundary to the southern boundary of
Church Ward, thence eastwards along said boundary to the southwestern boundary of
Woolton Ward, thence southeast wards along said boundary and generally eastwards along the southern boundary of said ward to the eastern boundary of the City, thence southwards along said boundary to the point of commencement".
2004 election The ward was renamed as
Allerton and Hunts Cross however the newly named ward retained the majority of the former ward, losing the area around
Calderstones Park to the new
Church ward and small parts of the new
Cressington and
Woolton wards, and gaining another area of Woolton ward. The ward boundaries followed Menlove Avenue, through Woolton Woods, School Lane, Speke Road, Kings Drive, Out Lane, Halewood Road, Mackets Lane, Hillfoot Avenue, the
West Coast Main Line, Mather Avenue, Booker Avenue and Yewtree Road.
2023 boundaries The 2022 review by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England decided that the existing 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 Allerton ward was recreated as a smaller, single-member ward from a section of the previous
Church and
Allerton and Hunts Cross wards. The new ward boundaries follow Rose Lane, the
West Coast Main Line, Booker Avenue, Mather Avenue, Heath Road, Menlove Avenue, and Allerton Road. ==Councillors==
