# Arundel (Liverpool ward)

Arundel ward is an electoral district of Liverpool City Council. It was created in 1953 from the Sefton Park East ward. Its boundaries were changed for the 1973 elections and again for the 1980 elections.
In the Local Government Boundary Commission's Report on the 1980 reorganisation the proposed new boundaries for the ward were described as "Commencing at a point where Ullet Road meets Sefton Park Road, thence northwards along said road and Lodge Lane to the southern boundary of Smithdown Ward, thence southeastwarda along said boundary and the southern boundary of Picton Ward to the western boundary of Church Ward, thence southeastwards, southwestwards and southeastwards along said boundary to the road known as Queens Drive Mossley Hill, thence southwestwards along said road to Mossley Hill Drive, thence northwestwards along said drive to the road known as Croxteth Gate, thence northwards along said road to Ullet Road, thence southwestwards along said road to the point of commencement."
The ward was dissolved prior to the 2004 Liverpool City Council Elections and distributed into by the re-arranged Church and Picton wards, the reinstated St. Michael's ward and the new Greenbank ward.
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 Arundel ward was recreated as a smaller, single-member ward from a section of the previous Greenbank and Picton wards. The new ward is roughly bounded by Smithdown Road, Lodge Lane, Fern Grove, Hartington Road and Ullet Road .
