Tuebrook is an area of inner-city Liverpool, Merseyside, England. At the 2001 Census the population was recorded as 14,490.
The origin of the name may be Tew Brook, which was a tributary of the Alt. The brook itself is now almost entirely piped or culverted, with the last exposed section at the back of a disused cinema.
Tuebrook includes Newsham Park, the Victorian, Grade I listed building St John's Church, Tuebrook Market and Tuebrook Police Station. It is part of the Parliamentary Constituency of Liverpool West Derby. An interesting characteristic of the main shopping street is that all shops are on one side of the street only. This is largely due to extensive demolition during upgrading of the main road.
Tuebrook has two secondary schools nearby: West Derby School located on Mill Bank and St Francis of Assisi in Newsham Park.
The area consistently elects Liberal Party Councillors to Liverpool City Council. At recent elections, the Tuebrook Liberals have enjoyed the largest majorities of any councillors on Liverpool City Council.
The current councillors for the Tuebrook and Stoneycroft Ward (Tuebrook until 2004) are Steve Radford, Kevin Morrison and Hazel Williams. Radford's personal popularity enabled him to finish second in the 2001 general election for Liverpool West Derby, coming ahead of both Conservative and Liberal Democrat candidates. However, in the 2005 general election, this popularity was not enough to keep him in second place and he slipped back down to third, depriving his Liberal Party of its only 2nd place showing in the UK.
