Under its former boundaries, Penzance Promenade represented the south west of Penzance including Alverton, Wherrytown and a small part of Newlyn (most of which was covered by the Newlyn and Mousehole division).[3] The ward was nominally abolished and reformed by redistricting at the 2013 election, but this had little effect on the division. Before the boundary changes, it covered 140.26 hectares in total; after, it covered 140.63 hectares.[3][4]

2021-present

edit

With its current boundaries, the division covers the south of Penzance including Alverton, Wherrytown, Morrab Gardens and Battery Rocks.[5]
