Windle is an electoral ward on the north‑eastern side of the borough of St Helens in Merseyside, historically part of Lancashire. It is largely residential, with a mix of mid‑20th century housing and pockets of semi‑rural green space and corridors that give it a suburban feel on the edge of the town.
The ward’s identity has been shaped by the wider industrial history of St Helens - coal, glass and chemical industries once dominated the local economy - but today life revolves around schools, community centres and small local businesses, with many residents commuting to nearby cities such as Liverpool and Manchester. Local community groups and churches remain important focal points, and the area benefits from reasonable transport links and ready access to surrounding countryside.
