Brooklands is an electoral division of Manchester City Council which has been represented since 1971. It covers the Brooklands area of Wythenshawe.

Overview

Brooklands ward was created in 1971,^[1] covering the northern portion of the Baguley ward and the western portion of the Northenden ward. In 1982, the ward's southern boundary became the Cheshire Lines Railway,^[2] then in 1994 that part of the ward to the west of Brooklands road was transferred from Manchester to the Metropolitan Borough of Trafford.^[3] A further city-wide boundary revision in 2004, transferred the Roundthorn area from the Baguley ward. The ward's boundaries were left largely unchanged at the latest revision in 2018.^{[citation needed]}

From its creation until 1997, the ward formed part of the Manchester Wythenshawe Parliamentary constituency.^[4]^[5] Since 1997, it has formed part of the Wythenshawe and Sale East Parliamentary constituency.^{[citation needed]}
