Limavady Borough Council

Limavady Borough Council (Irish: Comhairle Bhuirg Léim an Mhadaidh)[1] was a local government body in Northern Ireland.

The council was established in 1973 and was made up of 15 members who were elected (normally for a four-year term) using a single transferable vote system.

Together with the neighbouring district of Coleraine, it formed the East Londonderry constituency for elections to the Westminster Parliament and Northern Ireland Assembly.

The area covered by Limavady Borough Council had a population of 33,536 residents according to the 2011 Northern Ireland census.
