Map of Liverpool set for huge change with 71 new areas and different names

The map of Liverpool is set to drastically change, with people set to find themselves living in parts of the city with new names and new boundaries.

In December, the ECHO reported on the initial proposals for a drastic reshaping of Liverpool's electoral map - which divides the city up into ward areas, which are all represented by elected councillors. The remapping of the city is one key aspect of Liverpool's improvement journey following the damning government inspection which revealed huge failings at the city council last year.

Following Max Caller's historically bad inspection report, the council was told it must redraw its city boundaries, reduce the number of elected councillors and change when it holds elections. Mr Caller's recommendations called for a new system where the majority of wards in the city are represented by a single elected member, rather than the current system that sees three councillors represent each of 30 city wards.
