Sevenoaks is a local government district〔(District Council website )〕 in Kent, England, in the far west of the county. Its council is in the town of Sevenoaks. The district was formed on 1 April 1974 by the merger of the Sevenoaks Urban District, Sevenoaks Rural District and part of Dartford Rural District and is one of thirteen districts in Kent, one of which has unitary authority status, Medway, which means it does not obtain services or projects from Kent County Council. The latter is responsible for highways, public paths, fire and rescue, certain aspects of health and social care and education/libraries. The rest of local government is mostly at district level although the area has civil parish councils also. ==Geography== The area is approximately evenly divided between buildings and infrastructure on the one hand and woodland or agricultural fields on the other. It contains the upper valley of the River Darenth and some headwaters of the River Eden. In terms of districts, it borders Dartford to the north, Gravesham to the northeast, Tonbridge and Malling to the east, briefly Tunbridge Wells to the southeast. It also borders two which, equal to it, do not have borough status, the Wealden district of East Sussex to the south and the Tandridge district of Surrey to the southwest. It borders the London Boroughs of Bromley and Bexley to the northwest. In the 2011 Census, the district had a population of 114,893.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2011 Census profile: Age and gender profile (unrounded) )〕 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「Sevenoaks District」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
