Overview
[edit]Lightbowne ward was created in 1950,[1] covering the southern portions of the Blackley and Moston wards. In 1971,[2] the ward incorporated that part of the Blackley ward to the south of the Boggart Hole Brook. Further city-wide boundary revision in 1982,[3] transferred the westernmost portion of the Moston ward to Lightbowne. In 2004, the ward was abolished, and its remaining area was divided between the Harpurhey and Moston wards.[4]
For the entirety of its existence, the ward formed part of the Manchester Blackley Parliamentary constituency.[5][6]
