Ballymoney Borough Council was the local authority of Ballymoney in Northern Ireland. Originally formed in the 1970s, the council ceased to operate as a separate entity in 2015 when it was combined with other local authorities to form the Causeway Coast and Glens District Council.
History
[edit]The borders of the Ballymoney local authority area were established in 1973,[1] following the enactment of the Local Government (Boundaries) Act (Northern Ireland) 1971. Originally known as Ballymoney District Council, the local authority became Ballymoney Borough Council following the grant of a charter of incorporation in 1977.[1][2] In May 2015, the council ceased to operate as a separate entity when, under a reorganisation of local government in Northern Ireland, it was merged with Coleraine Borough Council, Limavady Borough Council and Moyle District Council, to become Causeway Coast and Glens District Council.
