It is in the north of England, on the River Mersey, composed of the metropolitan boroughs of Liverpool, Knowsley, Sefton, St Helens (borough) and Wirral. The county was initially administered by the Merseyside County Council but this was abolished in 1986, and so its boroughs are now effectively unitary authority. Despite the abolition of the county council some local services are still run on a county-wide basis, now administered by joint-boards of the five metropolitan boroughs, these include the: *Merseyside Police Authority *Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service *Merseyside Passenger Transport Executive (who are responsible for public transport including Merseyrail) Merseyside still exists legally, and as a ceremonial counties of England. It borders onto Lancashire, Greater Manchester and Cheshire. Other districts that are part of the urban area (but not part of Merseyside) are Ellesmere Port and Neston and Halton (borough). Uniquely among English counties, it is traditional to express location within the Merseyside area by the pronoun ''on'', thus "on Merseyside" as opposed to "in Merseyside" (after all, one would be "on the side of the Mersey" not "in" it). However, both expressions are common in modern usage. ==Merseyside Police Authority== The Merseyside Police Authority is responsible for providing Merseyside,England with an adequate and efficient police force. It is made up of nine local councillors, three magistrates and five independent members.

Help! That is not at all what Merseyside looks like, to start with the county is not simply connected, while the graphic seems to think that it is. Nor is that a map of England as I know it. User:Francis Davey :I think it way be that Wales is missing.--User:Irate 23:12, 2004 Oct 20 (UTC)
