Sefton

Lydiate and Maghull Community Independents 5, Independent member 1. A very heterogenous Merseyside district north of Liverpool, including working-class Bootle, Aintree racecourse, Crosby, and the resort town of Southport which has not stopped resenting being placed in Merseyside.

Netherton North has a byelection on 10 December (held by Labour). Kieran Dams (Waterloo) moved from Green Party to Independent in October 2026, to Liberal Democrat in November 2026. Jay Cooper (Bootle West) moved from Reform UK to Independent in May 2026.
