Nuneaton and Bedworth is a local government district with borough status, in northern Warwickshire, England, consisting of the towns of Nuneaton and Bedworth, the village of Bulkington and the green belt land in between. It has a population of just over 120,000.
It borders the Warwickshire districts of Rugby to the east, and North Warwickshire to the west. To the south it borders the county of West Midlands, and to the north Leicestershire.
The Nuneaton and Bedworth district was created on April 1st 1974 by the Local Government Act 1972. It was created by a merger of the municipal borough of Nuneaton, and the urban district of Bedworth (which included Bulkington). It was initially known as the Borough of Nuneaton. However objections to this by Bedworth residents lead to it being re-named 'Nuneaton and Bedworth' in 1980.
Nuneaton had gained the status of a municipal borough in 1907, and Bedworth had gained the status of an urban district in 1928. In 1938 Bulkington became part of the Bedworth Urban District.
Nuneaton and Bedworth is divided into 17 wards with 34 Councillors. The borough has no civil parishes.
