In 2023 the ward boundaries were changed following a 2022 review by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England, which decided that the previous 30 wards each represented by three Councillors should be replaced by 64 wards represented by 85 councillors with varying representation by one, two or three councillors per ward. The ward was reformed as Grassendale and Cressington, being represented by one councillor. The ward was formed from part of the former Cressington ward.{{cite web|url=https://www.lgbce.org.uk/sites/default/files/2023-03/liverpool_final_recommendations_report.pdf |title=New electoral arrangements for Liverpool City Council Final Recommendations |publisher=Local Government Boundary Commission for England |date=1 March 2023}}
