Gillmoss ward was an electoral division ofLiverpool City Council between 1953 and 2004. It and was centred on theCroxteth district ofLiverpool.

Theward was first formed in 1953, its boundaries were changed in 1973 and 1980 before being dissolved in 2004.

The ward was part of theLiverpool West Derby Parliamentary constituency.^[1]

Following the Local Government Act 1972 the ward boundaries of the council were altered. The number of wards was reduced from 40 to 33 and the aldermanic system was abolished. Gillmoss was retained and returned three councillors.^[2]

A report of theLocal Government Boundary Commission for England published in November 1978 set out proposals for changes to the wards of Liverpool City Council, maintaining the number of councillors at 99 representing 33 wards. Gillmoss ward was retained to be represented by three councillors.^[3]

The report describes the boundaries of Gillmoss ward as "Commencing at a point where Muirhead Avenue East meets Stalisfield Avenue, thence northwestwards along said Stalisfield Avenue to Dencourt Road, thence northeastwards along said road to Marcham Way, thence northwards along said wayto Mentmore Crescent, thence northweatwards and northwards along said crescent to Marshfield Road, thence northeastwards along, said road to Eldersfield Road, thence northwestwards along said road and Whinhowe Road to Carr Lane, thence southwestwaafds along said lane to Sandway-Crescent (western access), thence generally northeastwards along said crescent to Carsington Road, thence northwards along said road to Utting Avenue East, thence northeastwards along said avenue to Lower House Lane, thence northwestwards along said lane to the southern boundary of Fazakerley Ward, thence northeastwards along said boundary and northwestwards along the eastern boundary of said ward to the northeastern boundary of the City, thence eastwards, northwards and generally southeastwards along said boundary to the access way to the southwest of the properties in theroad known as Marled Hey, thence northwestwards along said access way to Waterpark Drive, thence southwestwards along said drive to NG ref SJ 4195093696, thence northwestwards in a straight line passing through NG ref SJ 4186993767 to the River Alt, thence continuing-northweotwards along said river to a point being the prolongation northeastwards of Oak Lane, thence southwestwards along said prolongation, said lane and Muirhead Avenue East to the point of commencement".^[4]

The ward was part of the Liverpool West Derby Parliamentary constituency.^[1]

A review by the Boundary Committee for England recommended that the council was formed of a reduced number of 90 members elected from 30 wards. Gillmoss ward was dissolved and distributed into the rearrangedCroxteth ward, with small parts going into the re-arrangedFazakerley, the re-establishedWest Derby ward and the newNorris Green andYew Tree wards.^[5]
