Shropshire Council elections are held every four years, and since 2009 74 councillors have been elected from 63 electoral divisions.[1]
Shropshire Council is the unitary authority for the district of Shropshire, within the larger ceremonial county of Shropshire, England. The council was created in 1889 as Salop County Council, and was the upper tier of government in the two-tier metropolitan county between 1974 and 2009. On 1 April 2009, as part of the 2009 structural changes to local government in England, Shropshire's districts were abolished and the county council took over their functions.[2] The Telford and Wrekin district had already become a separate unitary authority in 1998.[3]
