Chester-le-Street is a local government district in County Durham in north-east England. Its council is based in Chester-le-Street. Other places in the district include Great Lumley and Sacriston.
The district was formed on 1 April 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, and was a merger of the urban district of Chester-le-Street along with part of Chester-le-Street Rural District. Other parts of the rural district, despite being geographically part of Chester-le-Street were bizarrely transferred to Gateshead and Sunderland.
In 2007 the government announced that Chester-le-Street District Council, along with the other district authorities in County Durham, and Durham County Council, is to be abolished.
The abolished councils will be replaced by a new unitary authority, to be called 'County Durham Council', which will come into force in 2009.
