Ellesmere Port and Neston is a local government district, borough and parliamentary constituency in Cheshire, England. It covers the southern part of the Wirral Peninsula, that part which is not included in the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral.
Its main town is Ellesmere Port, an industrial town on the River Mersey. The rest of the district is partly rural and partly residential including small towns such as Neston and Parkgate, both on the River Dee. It also includes a number of villages, such as Great Sutton. See List of places
It contains one parish: Ince, with the remaining area of the borough remaining unparished. This means that these unparished areas do not have local government at the level of the civil parish.
It was formed on April 1, 1974 by the merger of the borough of Ellesmere Port and Neston urban district. The district was known simply as Ellesmere Port until the name was changed by the council effective June 21, 1976.
In 2007, plans were announced which proposed combining the borough with the Chester and Vale Royal districts, to form a new "West Cheshire" unitary authority.[1] On 25 July2007 following a consultation period, the name of the new unitary authority was officially announced to be City of Chester and West Cheshire.[2]
