Lisburn Area B

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lisburn Area B was one of the five district electoral areas in Lisburn, Northern Ireland which existed from 1973 to 1985. The district elected five members to Lisburn Borough Council, and formed part of the South Antrim constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.

It was created for the 1973 local elections, and contained the wards of Ballymacbrennan, Dromara, Drumbo, Hillsborough and Maze. It was abolished for the 1985 local elections and replaced by the Downshire DEA.
