Bath and North East Somerset Council is the local council for the district of Bath and North East Somerset in Somerset, England. It is a unitary authority, with the powers and functions of a non-metropolitan county and district council combined. The council consists of 65 councillors, 32 from Bath, 6 each from the Norton Radstock and Keynsham areas, and 21 others.〔 ==History== Historically part of the county of Somerset, Bath was made a county borough in 1889 so being independent of the newly created administrative Somerset county council, which covered the rest of the area that became B&NES. The area that would become B&NES became part of Avon when that non-metropolitan county was created in 1974. Since the abolition of Avon in 1996, Bath has been the main centre of the district of Bath and North East Somerset (B&NES), one of the four authorities that replaced Avon County Council and the six district councils of Avon. B&NES covers the combined areas of the non-metropolitan districts (that existed 1974 to 1996) of Wansdyke and Bath. Before the Reform Act of 1832 Bath elected two members to the unreformed House of Commons. Bath now has a single parliamentary constituency, with Conservative Ben Howlett as Member of Parliament. The rest of the area falls within the North East Somerset constituency.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Somerset North East: New Boundaries Calculation )〕 Previously most of the area was in the Wansdyke constituency, which covers the part of B&NES that is not in the Bath constituency. It also contained four wards or parts of wards from South Gloucestershire Council. It was named after the former Wansdyke district. Following a successful petition, there is to be a referendum held in 2016 proposing a directly elected mayor for the Bath and North East Somerset district.〔(Bristol Post ) Referendum to go ahead in Banes to decide on elected mayor (7 September 2015)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bath and North East Somerset Council」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
