Lightbowne was an electoral division of Manchester City Council which was represented from 1950 until 2004. It covered part of Moston in North Manchester.

Overview

Lightbowne ward was created in 1950, covering the southern portions of the Blackley and Moston wards. In 1971, the ward incorporated that part of the Blackley ward to the south of the Boggart Hole Brook. Further city-wide boundary revision in 1982, transferred the westernmost portion of the Moston ward to Lightbowne. In 2004, the ward was abolished, and its remaining area was divided between the Harpurhey and Moston wards.

For the entirety of its existence, the ward formed part of the Manchester Blackley Parliamentary constituency.
