Ward profile conducted by Salford City Council in 2020.[1]

Worsley and Westwood Park (ward) is an electoral ward of Salford, England.[2] It is represented in Westminster by Barbara Keeley MP for Worsley and Eccles South.[3] A profile of the ward conducted by Salford City Council in 2014 recorded a population of 10,090.[1] Formerly named Worsley, following extensive boundary changes to wards across the City of Salford, the ward was expanded to include Westwood Park, and the ward was renamed Worsley and Westwood Park. These new boundaries were first contested on 6 May 2021 in all-out elections, requiring all three ward councillors to stand for re-election.
