Central was an electoral division of Liverpool City Council in the Liverpool Riverside Parliamentary constituency.
Background
The ward was created for the 2004 municipal elections from the former Abercromby, Everton and Smithdown wards.
The ward boundaries followed the River Mersey, Princes Parade, William Jessop Way, Waterloo Road, Paisley Street, Great Howard Street, Leeds Street, Byrom Street, Hunter Street, Islington, Brunswick Road, Low Hill, Kensington, Jubilee Drive, Belltower Lane to behind Jubilee Drive, Edge Lane, Irvine Street, Mason Street, Grinfield Street, Smithdown Lane, Falkner Street, Grove Street, Myrtle Street, Hardman Street, Leece Street, Renshaw Street, Ranelagh Street, Hanover Street, Canning Place, Salthouse Quay, and Hartley Quay.{{cite web |title=Final recommendations on the future electoral arrangements for Liverpool City |url=http://www.lgbce.org.uk/all-reviews/north-west/merseyside/liverpool |publisher=The Boundary Committee for England |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180401013356/https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/lgbce/__data/assets/pdf_file/0020/7526/liverpool_f_8474-7279__e__.pdf |archive-date=1 April 2018 |date=March 2003 |url-status=dead}}
It contained the majority of the city centre but also includes Kensington Fields in the Kensington district to the east and the Marybone/Holy Cross community in the Vauxhall district. The ward includes the longstanding city centre community around the Bullring, as well as many new city centre apartments. Furthermore, the ward contains the Pier Head and the two larger universities; the University of Liverpool and Liverpool John Moores University.
The population at the 2011 census was 20,340,{{cite web|url=http://www.ukcensusdata.com/central-e05000889#sthash.qAKTe0sf.dpbs|title=City of Liverpool ward population 2011|accessdate=11 January 2016}} and at the 2021 census was 24,849.{{cite web |url=https://www.citypopulation.de/en/uk/northwestengland/wards/liverpool/E05000889__central/ |website=citypopulation.de |title=Central (Ward, United Kingdom) - Population Statistics, Charts, Map and Location |access-date=17 July 2023}}
In 2004 Central was the city's most marginal ward, largely due to the intervention of the hard left Liverpool Labour Community Party, however the ward solely returned Labour Party councillors. The May 2008 local elections saw Labour take 62% of the vote.
The 2011 vote was effected by the controversy involving the Liberal Democrat candidate, Daniel Bradley, who is the son of former Liverpool City Council Leader Warren Bradley, when Daniel disclosed that he had not signed the candidate paper which his father had witnessed.{{cite web |url=http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/elections-2010/elections-2010-news/2011/04/19/liberal-democrats-suspend-warren-bradley-and-police-poised-to-launch-investigation-100252-28542763/|title=Liberal Democrats suspend Warren Bradley and police poised to launch investigation|author=David Bartlett |publisher=Liverpool Echo|date=19 April 2011|accessdate=7 May 2011 }}{{cite web |url=http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/liverpool-news/local-news/2011/04/18/former-liverpool-council-leader-facing-probe-on-son-s-election-papers-100252-28537410/|title=Former Liverpool council leader Warren Bradley facing probe on son’s election papers|author=Ben Rossington |publisher=Liverpool Echo|date=18 April 2011|accessdate=7 May 2011 }}
Cllr Maria Toolan resigned from the Labour Party, weeks before the 2023 elections, after failing to be selected as a Labour candidate,{{cite web |last1=Thorp |first1=Liam |title=11 things we learnt at an explosive Liverpool Council budget meeting |url=https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/11-things-learnt-explosive-liverpool-26365992 |website=Liverpool Echo |access-date=17 July 2023}} and subsequently stood for the Liverpool Community Independents Party in City Centre North ward.{{cite web |last1=Humphreys |first1=David |title=Former Labour members want to 'hold balance of power' in city elections |url=https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/former-labour-members-want-hold-26597443 |website=Liverpool Echo |access-date=17 July 2023}}
The ward was dissolved in 2023 and was distributed mostly into the City Centre North and Brownlow Hill wards, with parts in the Canning, City Centre South, Everton West Kensington & Fairfield and Waterfront South wards.
