SOPN www.knowsley.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2024-04/Statement%20of%20Persons%20Nominated.docx15 wards, all regular elections and no by-elections Con 4/15 (Page Moss, Prescot North, Swanside, Whiston & Cronton) Lab 15/15 LD 1/15 (Prescot North) Green 11/15 (missing Halewood North, Halewood South, Prescot North, Whitefield) Reform UK 1/15 (Whiston & Cronton) TUSC 1/15 (Northwood) Independent 3/15 (Halewood North, Halewood South, Whitefield) It looks rather as if there's a formal or informal pact between Green, Independent and Lib Dem as they're not opposing each other but have every ward covered between them.

Its bizarre how the Lib Dems don’t try and branch out of Prescott North. I understand targeting but there isn’t even one other ward where they think it might be worth standing away from their mainstay? Especially given there is a history of scousers just over the border in Liverpool seeing them as the main opposition to Labour hegemony locally.

It was Carl Cashman, Prescot North, but is now a Liverpool councillor - I don't know , you would think Prescot South?

Ind 1. Whitefield
Green 1. Prescot South
Lib Dem 1. Prescot North (close!)

The only Met with no posts since the election I suspect that there might be a reason for that?

Maybe in the days of total Labour clean sweeps year after year, but that hasn't been true for a while now.

This is possibly the most pointless Met Borough ever. Clear which parts belong in Liverpool and which parts belong in St Helens

Southport were offered the chance to become a Lancashire district a while ago IIRC, they declined saying only unitary status would do.
They are likely too small for that to be viable now, even if they were a county borough in the good old days.

They are likely too small for that to be viable now, even if they were a country borough in the good old days. They are far better off in a stable Met council with control over all their services, than going into Lancashire that would take much of the major decision making to Preston, and all be unearthed again in a few years when the holdout county councils are split up/ consolidated and turned into UAs

Of course the county boroughs were the part of the old local government system that found the postwar arrangement between central and local government - more powers and funding but less freedom and more responsibilities - hard to cope with.
