Limavady Borough Council ((アイルランド語:Comhairle Bhuirg Léim an Mhadaidh))〔(Limavady Borough Council website )〕 is a local government body in Northern Ireland. It is set to merge with Coleraine Borough Council, Ballymoney Borough Council and Moyle District Council in May 2015 under local government reorganisation in Northern Ireland to become Causeway Coast and Glens District Council. Its headquarters are in the town of Limavady, although 63% of the population lives in a rural setting. It covers an area of 586 square kilometres and includes the valley of the River Roe. It stretches from the Sperrin Mountains in the south to Benone beach, a seven-mile strand on the Atlantic coast which was the first beach in Northern Ireland to be awarded a Blue Flag. Apart from Limavady other towns in the area include Dungiven and Ballykelly.〔(Council website )〕 The Limavady Borough Council area consists of three electoral areas: Limavady Town, Benbradagh and Bellarena. The Council was established in 1973 and is made up of 15 members who are elected (normally for a four-year term) using a single transferable vote system. Together with the neighbouring district of Coleraine, it forms the East Londonderry constituency for elections to the Westminster Parliament and Northern Ireland Assembly. At the last election in 2011 members from the following political parties were elected: 6 Sinn Féin, 3 Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP), 3 Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), 2 Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) and 1 Traditional Unionist Voice (TUV). The posts of Mayor and Deputy Mayor are usually rotated annually among the political representatives of the two main traditions within the community as part of the partnership process operated by the Council. As of June 2013, the Mayor is Councillor Gerry Mullan (SDLP)and the Deputy Mayor is Councillor James McCorkell (DUP). ==2011 Election results== * Boyd Douglas, elected as a TUV councillor, had previously held the seat under other designations, most recently (until early 2011) as a United Unionist Coalition representative. 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「Limavady Borough Council」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
