From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Area B was one of the eight district electoral areas (DEA) which existed in Belfast , Northern Ireland from 1973 to 1985. Located in the east of the city, the district elected seven members to Belfast City Council and contained the wards of Ballyhackamore ; Belmont; Bloomfield; Island; Knock; Shandon; and Stormont. The DEA formed part of the Belfast East constituency.
History
The area was created for the 1973 local government elections , combining the whole of the former Victoria ward with just under half of the former Pottinger ward. It was abolished for the 1985 local government elections , for which an eighth ward had been created in the area. The Bloomfield ward became part of a new Pottinger DEA , while the remaining seven wards formed the Victoria DEA .
