Coordinates: 53°24′36″N 2°58′48″W / 53.410°N 2.980°W Central is a Liverpool City Council Ward made up of the majority of the city centre but also includes Kensington Fields in Kensington to the east and the Marybone/Holy Cross community in Vauxhall. The ward includes the longstanding city centre community around the Bullring, as well as many new city centre apartments. Furthermore the ward contains the Pier Head and the two larger universities; the University of Liverpool and Liverpool John Moores University.
In 2004 Central was the city's most marginal ward, largely due to the intervention of the hard left Liverpool Labour Community Party. In more recent elections has become safer for Labour. The May 2008 local elections saw Labour take 62% of the vote.
The councillors for Central are Nick Small, Sharon Sullivan and Christine Banks.
