Kilroot (District Electoral Area)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kilroot was one of the three district electoral areas in Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland which existed from 1985 to 2014. The district elected five members to Carrickfergus Borough Council from 1985 to 1993, and six members from 1993 to 2014, and formed part of the East Antrim constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.
It was created for the 1985 local elections, replacing Carrickfergus Area B which had existed since 1973, and contained the wards of Blackhead, Boneybefore, Eden, Victoria and Whitehead. For the 1993 local elections, it gained a sixth ward, Bluefield. It was abolished for the 2014 local elections and most of the area was transferred to the Carrick Castle DEA, with Whitehead moving to the Larne Lough DEA.
