The ward of North Meols and Hesketh Bank sits in the borough of West Lancashire, in Lancashire, England. It centres on the village of Hesketh Bank and the surrounding low‑lying farmland of the West Lancashire Coastal Plain by the River Ribble estuary, lying between Southport and Preston.
Historically part of the ancient parish of North Meols, the area is shaped by land reclamation, drainage and a long tradition of market gardening and arable farming, alongside a growing commuter population. The ward retains a distinctly rural, village character with local clubs, schools and seasonal community events, and a heritage influenced by 19th‑century transport links that helped develop its agricultural trade.
