Belle Vale is an electoral division of Liverpool City Council in the Garston and Halewood Parliamentary constituency.
Background
The ward was formed in 2004 and the boundaries were altered in 2023. From 2023 the ward is represented by two councillors.
= 2004 boundaries
=A review by the Boundary Committee for England recommended that the council was formed of a reduced number of 90 members elected from 30 wards. The Belle Vale was created from the former Netherley and Valley wards.
The ward boundaries followed the city boundary and the North Liverpool Extension Line.
The population of the 2004 ward at the 2011 census was 15,004, and at the 2021 census was 15,613.
= 2023 boundaries
=A 2022 review by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England decided that the existing 30 wards, each represented by three councillors should be replaced by 64 wards represented by 85 councillors with varying representation by one, two or three councillors per ward. The Belle Vale ward was varied as a smaller, two-member ward, retaining most of the former Belle Vale ward, losing small sections to the new Gateacre and Childwall wards.
