About

Garston ward sits along the southern edge of Liverpool, bordering the River Mersey. The area is historically defined by its industrial and maritime heritage, with former docks and warehouses shaping its landscape. Residential streets, primarily terraced housing, are intermixed with modern retail parks and light industrial units, creating a functional urban environment. The ward includes the distinct neighbourhoods of Garston Village and the more modern developments near the A561.

A significant local feature is the elevated Garston Overhead Railway line, now a walking and cycling path offering views across the river. The area is directly served by its own railway station providing links to the city centre. Large green spaces are found at Reynolds Park to the north, while the working Garston Docks continue to operate, handling bulk materials and maintaining a tangible connection to the river's industrial role.
