How these are grouped

The council the Library records, used as published.

Neighbourhoods are listed under the local authority the House of Commons Library records against each one. That is the council area as it stood when the names were published, so a recent reorganisation can put a neighbourhood under a predecessor council. Nothing is re-aggregated here.
