About

The Rural South ward encompasses a predominantly agricultural landscape within West Lancashire, characterised by expansive fields and scattered farmsteads. The area is defined by its open countryside, with land primarily used for arable farming and livestock. Settlements are small and dispersed, maintaining a low population density across the ward. The Leeds and Liverpool Canal forms a notable linear feature, threading through the western part of the agricultural terrain.

A key aspect of the local economy is market gardening, with several nurseries and growers operating in the area. The ward includes the distinct village of Halsall, which serves as a focal point with its parish church and historic buildings. Transport routes like the A5147 road bisect the farmland, connecting the rural communities. This creates a working environment where agricultural activity shapes both the visual character and daily life.
