About

Church ward covers the northern coastal portion of the borough of Sefton, bordering the Irish Sea. Its landscape is defined by the extensive Crosby Beach, known for its wide expanse of sand and mudflats. Inland, the area consists primarily of residential neighbourhoods with a mix of housing types, alongside local commercial centres serving the community. The Leeds and Liverpool Canal runs through the ward, providing a linear green corridor for recreation.

A notable feature is the permanent installation of one hundred cast-iron, life-size figures by artist Antony Gormley, which stand on the foreshore. The ward contains several parks and playing fields, including Northern Cemetery, which offers open green space. The area's infrastructure is shaped by its coastal position, with marine lake facilities and a coastal road running parallel to the shoreline.
