Until 1 April 2015, Burton was a [[civil parishes in England|civil parish]]. Although classified as a civil parish, it had neither a [[Parish councils in England|parish council]] nor a [[parish meeting]], and, consequently, the duties that would normally be performed by these bodies were the responsibility of Cheshire West and Chester Council. |
|||
From 1 April 2015, Burton parish was merged with Duddon parish to create a new, larger, Duddon parish.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk/pdf/A-Z_Compendium_of_Decision_Notices_by_Parishes.pdf | title = Community Governance Review of Burton and Duddon parishes, Notice of Decision, Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 | pages = 42–43 | date = 28 November 2014 | access-date = 10 April 2015}}</ref> |
