6 Merseyside
6 Merseyside 6.1 Administrative set-up Merseyside takes its name from the River Mersey and is a metropolitan county in North West England. Merseyside came into existence as a metropolitan county in 1974, after the passage of the Local Government Act 1972, and the county consists of five metropolitan boroughs adjoining the Mersey Estuary, including the City of Liverpool. Merseyside encompasses about 645 km2 (249 sq miles) and has a population of around 1,350,100 (Office of National Statistics). Number of Males Females Total Area Merseyside people per (thousands) (thousands) (thousands) (hectares) hectare Knowsley 71.7 79.1 150.8 8629.3 17.48 Liverpool 212.7 222.8 435.5 11159.08 39.03 Sefton 131.3 144.9 276.2 15455.66 17.87 St Helens 86.5 91 177.5 13589.08 13.06 Wirral 147.7 162.4 310.1 15704.9 19.75 Total 649.9 700.2 1350.1 64538.02 107.19 Table 3 Demographics of Merseyside (sourced various from ONS www.statistics.gov.uk) Merseyside County Council was abolished in 1986, and so its districts (the metropolitan boroughs) are now essentially unitary authorities. However, the metropolitan county continues to exist in law and as a geographic frame of reference. Merseyside is divided into two parts by the Mersey Estuary: the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral is located to the west of the estuary on the Wirral Peninsula; the rest of the county is located on the eastern side of the estuary. The eastern boroughs of Merseyside border Lancashire to the north and Greater Manchester to the east, and both parts of Merseyside, west and east of the estuary, border Cheshire to the south.
