West Lancashire

Our West Lancashire 7, Independent 1, Your Party 1. Low-lying area between Southport and Wigan, with the largest town being the unfinished new town of Skelmersdale (one claimant as the largest in England with no railway station). Nearby is the market town of Ormskirk, home to Edge Hill University, and Burscough.

Our West Lancashire gained a seat in Aughton and Holborn from an Independent elected as Labour, at a byelection on 9 October. Paul Hogan (Tanhouse and Skelmersdale Town Centre) moved from Labour to Your Party in October 2025.
