Prescot North is an electoral ward in the Metropolitan Borough of Knowsley, in Merseyside, covering the northern edge of the town of Prescot and neighbouring residential neighbourhoods. It is largely suburban, with a mix of post‑war housing, small terraces and pockets of green space, and benefits from relatively easy rail and road links for commuters heading into Liverpool and the wider city region.
The ward shares in Prescot's long market‑town history and craft heritage, and local life is shaped by small shops, community groups and modest regeneration efforts. Like many parts of Knowsley there are social and economic challenges, but strong neighbourhood networks and cultural initiatives anchored in the town help give the area a distinct local identity.
