How many districts in uk?

January 7th, 2009
  • Either hundreds or none - it's not an official term so it has no precise definition here.


  • This is one for wikipedia
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_king...

    In summary, England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are parts of the UK, and you'll need to look into the organisation of each. No-one, except the government uses the defined european regions, at that level they are despised, and are especially insulting to the nations of Wales and Scotland.

    For England, districts existed only for the non-metropolitan counties between the 1973 re-organisation, and the start of unitary authorities. They still exist in some counties, but by no means a majority.

    Again - for England, there are currently 35 shire counties (ones with districts), 40 unitary authorities, 30 London boroughs, and 36 Metropolitan county boroughs (on 6 metropolitan counties)

    Wales has 22 unitary authorities (used to have 13 counties)
    Scotland has 32 council areas.
    Northern Ireland has 26 district councils (used to have 6 counties)




  • The UK is split up into counties, not districts. And I dont know how many. I did when I was at school, but then they changed the boundries. But a couple of them are called 'Greater whatever' rather than the origianal county name.


  • loads


  • The Lake District always works for me, give me a pint of Jennings Snecklifter and I'm happy as a pig in sh1t


  • Geographically the UK is split into Counties. Politically it is split into seats or wards. District has not real meaning other than signifying 'close to here'
