About

Harington ward sits within the borough of Sefton, covering the northern residential areas of Formby. The landscape is characterised by suburban housing, local shopping parades, and green spaces like the Formby Hall Golf Club grounds. Its boundaries stretch towards the coastal pine woods and dunes that define this part of the Merseyside coastline.

A significant portion of the ward is occupied by the extensive grounds of Freshfield, a former railway sanatorium, which now forms a distinct wooded and heathland area. This creates a notable transition from residential streets into natural, protected environments. The area's infrastructure supports the local community with schools and sports facilities, maintaining a quiet, settled atmosphere away from more central urban hubs.
