About

Ainsdale ward lies within the borough of Sefton, situated between Birkdale and Formby.

Inland, the landscape features the Ainsdale and Birkdale Golf Links and the historic Ainsdale Woods. The ward maintains a distinct separation from the larger urban areas to the south, with a focus on local community facilities and preserved natural environments.
