About

Ford ward is located in the northern part of the Sefton borough, encompassing the coastal area around the town of Formby. The landscape is characterised by extensive pine woods and sand dunes that form part of a designated nature reserve. This environment supports specific wildlife, including a population of red squirrels.

The area includes Formby's residential districts and stretches along the Irish Sea coastline.
