Liverpool Riverside

Liverpool Riverside is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 1997 by Louise Ellman of the Labour Party and the Co-operative Party.Constituency profileLiverpool Riverside covers an urban area, many neighbourhoods and households of which are economically deprived on relative and absolute measures. The latter 20th century economic history of Liverpool cost many jobs, businesses and sources of investment to the city leading to urban blight and the return of widespread generational poverty, not seen since the 19th century. The city's 21st century economic history has been increasing prosperous, seeing growth amongst its financial sector, innovative technology businesses, tourism and entertainment gigs and events. The re-investment has been heightened by heavily used high rise buildings by leading architects, principally the Tate Liverpool and an adjoining block, and publicly funded transport and services improvements.HistoryCreationLiverpool Riverside was created in 1983, merging most of Liverpool Scotland Exchange and Liverpool Toxteth units. A provisional recommendation by the Boundary Commission was for the name Liverpool Abercromby, dropped during the local consultations, during which an alternate name of Liverpool Cathedrals was also proposed.
