Ceredigion District Council

Ceredigion District Council was one of six district-level authorities in the county of Dyfed, Wales, from 1974 until 1996.

The new Ceredigion district replaced the previous nine district-level authorities in Cardiganshire:[1][2] The district was reconstituted under the Local Government (Wales) Act 1994, taking over county-level functions in its area from Dyfed County Council, which was abolished, on 1 April 1996.

During that time, the shadow authority requested a change of name from Cardiganshire / Sir Aberteifi to Ceredigion for both languages.

[4][5] The first election to the council was held in 1973, initially operating as a shadow authority before coming into its powers on 1 April 1974.

[6][7] The council maintained a number of offices around the district, mostly inherited from its predecessor authorities.
