Village is an electoral ward of Trafford, Greater Manchester, covering the eastern part of the village of Timperley, including the Village Centre, and part of Brooklands.
Upon the seat's creation in 1973, the slate was split between 2 Labour councillors and 1 Liberal. At elections during the rest of the 1970s, the Conservatives eventually gained all three seats. In the 1980s and 1990s, the Conservatives fared less well while they were in Government, and the Liberals (latterly the Liberal Democrats) won the seat at most elections until 2010, the exceptions being 1983, 1987 and 1990.
In 2011, The Conservative candidate Laura Evans won in the ward for her party for the first time in 21 years. Though she successfully defended her seat in 2015, the Conservatives wouldn't make a gain in the ward until 2018, despite losing seats in other wards on the authority.
Incumbent Councillor Ray Bowker, first elected in 1973, died in January 2020.[2]
Three councillors serve the ward: Shaun Ennis (Lib Dem),[3] Julian Newgrosh (Lib Dem)[4] and Linda Blackburn (Con) who was elected in May 2021 after her previous ward of Davyhulme East swung to Labour.[5]
