Sefton Totally Explained

Everything about Sefton totally explained

The Metropolitan Borough of Sefton is a metropolitan borough of Merseyside, England. Its local authority is Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council.
   Sefton was formed by the Local Government Act 1972 on April 1, 1974, by the amalgamation of the former county boroughs of Bootle and Southport, and, from the administrative county of Lancashire, the municipal borough of Crosby, the urban districts of Formby and Litherland, and part of the Rural District of West Lancashire. It was placed in the metropolitan county of Merseyside.
   The borough consists of a coastal strip of land on the Irish Sea, and extends from Bootle, part of the Liverpool Urban Area, in the south, to Southport in the north. In the south-east, it extends inland to Maghull. The district is bounded by Liverpool to the south, Knowsley to the south-east, and West Lancashire to the east.
   It is named after the village and parish of Sefton, near Maghull. A Sefton Rural District covering some of the villages in the district had existed from 1894 to 1932.

Politics

The existence of Sefton has been an ongoing local controversy, especially in Southport, MPs of which have campaigned for separation from Bootle, and possibly inclusion as a district in the non-metropolitan county of Lancashire.
MORI polls in the boroughs of Sefton and Wirral in the 2000s showed that more residents in these boroughs identified strongly to Merseyside than to Lancashire or Cheshire respectively (but was less likely to be "very strong" as opposed to "fairly strong").
The council has been under no overall control since the 1980s.
