Overview
Fallowfield ward was created in 1982,[1] covering the southern poritons of the former Lloyd Street ward and the Rusholme ward. In 2004,[2] a section of the ward south of Alexandra Park was transferred to the Whalley Range ward. At the latest revision in 2018, the ward's western boundary became Princess Road and its eastern boundary was extended to the Styal Line.
From its creation until 1983, the ward was divided between the Manchester Ardwick and Manchester Moss Side Parliamentary constituencies.[3] Between 1983 and 2024, it was part of the Manchester Gorton Parliamentary constituency. Since 2024, it has formed part of the Manchester Rusholme Parliamentary constituency.
