Alexandra Park (Manchester ward)


Alexandra Park, later Alexandra, was an electoral division of Manchester City Council which was represented from 1950 until 1982. It covered the suburb of Whalley Range, as well as parts of Fallowfield and Moss Side.

Overview

Alexandra Park ward was created in 1950, covering the eastern portion of the former Chorlton-cum-Hardy ward, which included Whalley Range and parts of Fallowfield. In 1971, its name was shortened to Alexandra and that part of the ward to the east of Princess Road was transferred to the new Lloyd Street ward. In 1982, the ward was abolished, and its remaining area became the new Whalley Range ward.
For the entirety of its existence, the ward formed part of the Manchester Moss Side Parliamentary constituency.
