Worcester City Council ward boundaries

New election ward boundaries for Worcester City Council elections were put in place for the May 2024 polls, following a review by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE).

The number of city councillors remained at 35 who are split across 16 wards, instead of the pervious 15.

The main changes to Worcester’s electoral wards were:

• The previous Cathedral ward was split in two new wards, named Fort Royal and Cathedral
• The previous Gorse Hill and Warndon wards were merged to form a new ward named Warndon & Elbury Park
• The previous boundary between the wards of Bedwardine and St John were significantly changed to allow the creation of a new ward, named Dines Green & Grove Farm. The southern part of the old Bedwardine ward was renamed Lower Wick & Pitmaston.

Some other wards were also renamed, and there were minor boundary changes between most of the remaining wards.

Further information is available on the LGBCE website.
