About

Shevington ward lies in the northwestern part of the Knowsley borough, primarily a residential area characterised by post-war housing estates and some modern developments. The layout is functional, with local shops and services concentrated along main routes like Shevington Lane, catering to daily needs. The area is bordered by significant green corridors, including the Kirkby industrial estate to the south and agricultural land towards the north, defining its edges.

A notable local feature is the presence of the Simonswood Moss area, a patch of remnant lowland mossland habitat that provides a distinct natural space within the suburban setting. Public footpaths connect through these green spaces, offering straightforward recreational routes for residents. The ward's proximity to the East Lancashire Road ensures strong transport links to Liverpool and other parts of Merseyside, supporting its role as a commuter settlement within the wider region.
