Salisbury is a local government district in Wiltshire, England. It was formed in 1974. Its main town is the city of Salisbury.
There is no authority called Salisbury City Council. The City of Salisbury, only one-sixtieth of the area of the district, is unparished; since 1974 its dignity & privileges have been vested in Charter Trustees.
The district was formed on April 1, 1974, under the Local Government Act 1972, as a merger of the previous municipal boroughs of New Sarum (Salisbury) and Wilton, along with Amesbury Rural District, Mere and Tisbury Rural District and Salisbury and Wilton Rural District.
On 25th July 2007 the Department for Communities and Local Government announced that the district is to be abolished along with Kennet, North Wiltshire and West Wiltshire districts, making Wiltshire County Council a unitary authority.
Control of the authority shifted in the elections of May 2007 from Conservative to no overall control, the current administration being formed by a coalition of Liberal Democrat and Labour councillors. Representation on the council is as follows:
Conservative: 22
Liberal Democrat: 19
Labour: 10
Independent: 4
Previous political control of the Council is as follows (see BBC pages [1])
