Coleraine Area C

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Coleraine Area C was one of the three district electoral areas in Coleraine, Northern Ireland which existed from 1973 to 1985. The district elected seven members to Coleraine Borough Council, and formed part of the Londonderry constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.

It was created for the 1973 local elections, and contained the wards of Central, Churchland, Cross Glebe, Mount Sandel, The Cuts, university and Waterside. It was abolished for the 1985 local elections and replaced by Coleraine Town DEA.
