Knowsley / Knowsley Village

This place name ought to be called Knowsley Village as this is the recognised name. The term Knowsley is more at use with the Metropolitan Borough (Council). Open to depate. Dmcm2008 (talk) 13:11, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Ordnance Survey and Office for National Statistics records it as "Knowsley". --Jza84 | Talk 15:33, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Added map citation from Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council for the name Knowsley Village. Snowy 1973 (talk) 01:28, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The village is bracketed by 30mph signs on the main B-road that runs north-south, and with them the Highways Agency have seen fit to identify the location as 'Knowsley Village'.

The school website identifies itself as 'Knowsley Village - Primary School', and the school logo is a stylised KV.

The St John Fisher (Catholic) Primary School website places that school in Knowsley Village, not Knowsley village.

And Knowsley Council refers to Knowsley Village (again, note the capitalization of 'Village')

Split personality

This article is trying to cover at least four things;

Knowsley Village, known as plain 'Knowsley' until 1974
Knowsley Parish - a much wider area
Knowsley Business Park - partly within the parish, partly without
not Knowsley Metropolitan Borough - clearly identifying that this is a wholly different entity

At the moment it is failing on several counts; for instance is it a large village with a population of over 11,000, or is that the total for the entire parish? I know the answer now, but only after doing further research. Editing is required, but I am currently embroiled in so many other projects, so if is left to me I don't know when it will happen.
