Warbreck

Warbreck is a Liverpool City Council Ward in Liverpool, England. It contains the northern parts of the Walton and Orrell Park areas of Liverpool. Warbreck is purely the name of the council ward and has never been used as a district name.

Etymology

Warbreck means "look-out hill", from Old Norse "varŏi" "look-out" and "brekka" "hill (in the sense 'cairn')". The etymology is the same as that of Warbreck (Lancashire). The place-name was recorded as "Varebrikke" in 1035.The ward is home to the selubrious Walton Jail, otherwise known as the Hornby hotel or the Big House.

As of 1 January 2008, the area is represented by two Labour councillors, Councillor Ann O'Byrne and Councillor Richard McLinden,along with one Liberal Democrats Councillor, Councillor Jean Seddon.

Labour gained two councillors in 2007, one at the May local elections, and one in a by-election held in September 2007, and the winner, Councillor Richard McLinden, successfully defended his seat in May 2008.
