Ainsdale could soon be wiped off Southport’s political map when it comes to choosing a new MP.
Under revised plans released by the Boundary Commission, which is carrying out a review into constituency boundaries across the country, Ainsdale would become part of Sefton Central constituency instead of Southport.
The plans were described by Sefton Council’ s Liberal democrat cllr and leader of the opposition, Cllr John Pugh, himself a previous MP in Southport as a “brave new world” where “mathematics has triumphed over community.”
