[edit] History

The Nuneaton and Bedworth district was created on April 1st 1974 by the Local Government Act 1972. It was created by a merger of the municipal borough of Nuneaton, and the urban district of Bedworth (which included Bulkington). It was initially known as the Borough of Nuneaton. However objections to this by Bedworth residents lead to it being re-named 'Nuneaton and Bedworth' in 1980.

Nuneaton had gained the status of a municipal borough in 1907, and Bedworth had gained the status of an urban district in 1928. In 1938 Bulkington became part of the Bedworth Urban District.

[edit] Sub-Divisions
