Village (ward)
Village was an electoral ward of Trafford, Greater Manchester, covering the eastern part of the village of Timperley, including the Village Centre, and part of Brooklands. The ward's initial boundaries roughly corresponded to those of Timperley (IV) ward on Altrincham Council. Its predecessor ward had been a battleground between the Conservative and Labour parties, however, Labour's presence in the new ward was shortlived after the Liberals gained a foothold. Throughout the 1980s the ward was a marginal between the Liberals (latterly the Liberal Democrats) and Conservatives before becoming relatively safe for the Liberal Democrats who won it at every election from 1991 until 2010. Changing political fortunes allowed the Conservatives to make gains in the ward in 2011, 2018, and 2021, despite this the Liberal Democrats maintained a constant presence in the ward, winning back lost seats in 2019 and 2022, the latter giving the party its largest majority at any election in the borough since 2008. Village ward was abolished by boundary changes in 2023 with its area divided between Timperley Central, Timperley North, and Hale Barns and Timperley South. Councillor Ray Bowker held the ward from 1974 to 1976 and again from 1980 until his death in January 2020, at the time of his death, Councillor Bowker was one of two Trafford Councillors who had been members of the council upon its creation in 1974.
