(‘Merseyside’, which was created on 1 april 1974 as a result of the ‘Local Government Act 1972’, takes its name from the ‘River Mersey’)
(‘Merseyside’ spans 249 square miles (645 km2) of land which border ‘Lancashire’ (to the north-east), ‘Greater Manchester’ (to the east), ‘Cheshire’ (to the south and south-west) and the ‘Irish Sea’ to the west)
(‘North Wales’ is across the ‘Dee Estuary’)
(there is a mix of high density urban areas, suburbs, semi-rural and rural locations in ‘Merseyside’, but overwhelmingly the land use is urban)
(it has a focused central business district, formed by ‘Liverpool City Centre’, but ‘Merseyside’ is also a polycentric county with five metropolitan districts, each of which has at least one major town centre and outlying suburbs)
(the ‘Liverpool Urban Area’ is the fifth most populous conurbation in ‘England’, and dominates the geographic center of the county, while the smaller ‘Birkenhead Urban Area’ dominates the ‘Wirral Peninsula’ in the south)
(for the 12 years following 1974 the county had a two-tier system of local government; district councils shared power with the ‘Merseyside County Council’)
(the ‘county council’ was abolished in 1986, and so its districts (the ‘metropolitan boroughs’) are now effectively unitary authority areas)
(however, the ‘metropolitan county’ continues to exist in law and as a geographic frame of reference, and several county-wide services are co-ordinated by authorities and joint-boards, such as ‘Merseytravel’ (for public transport), ‘Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service’ and the ‘Merseyside Police’ (for law-enforcement); as a ‘ceremonial county’, ‘Merseyside’ has a ‘Lord Lieutenant’ and a ‘High Sheriff’)
(‘Merseyside’ is joined by the neighbouring borough of ‘Halton’ to form the ‘Liverpool City Region’, which together forms a ‘local enterprise partnership’ and ‘combined authority’ area)
.
(‘merseyside’ is an ‘amalgamation’ of 22 former local government districts from the former administrative counties of ‘lancashire’, ‘Cheshire’ and 6 autonomous county boroughs centered on…)
