Local Government Boundary Review including ward maps

A review by the independent Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) took place during 2024 and 2025, which recommended new ward boundaries and ward names that were then approved by Parliament.

You can find out more about the review on their website at www.lgbce.org.uk/all-reviews/sunderland

Sunderland will have 75 councillors to represent 25 wards across the city, the same as there are now. Each ward will be represented by 3 councillors.  

Future Ward References and Names

The wards come into force at the local government elections in May 2026
