History
editThe Hamworthy area was formerly part of two wards on Poole Borough Council; Hamworthy East and Hamworthy West. The wards were merged due to the 2019 structural changes to local government in England with the abolition of Poole Borough Council and the new creation of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council.[1]
Geography
editThe ward covers the suburb of Hamworthy, up to the border with Upton. The ward is geographically in the far west of the conurbation.[2]
