Local government reorganisation in the ceremonial county were planned in May 2018, when existing councils would be replaced by two new unitary authorities.
One was formed from the existing unitary authorities of Bournemouth and Poole which will merge with the non-metropolitan district of Christchurch to create a unitary authority to be known as Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council.
The merger of the existing non-metropolitan districts of Weymouth and Portland, West Dorset, North Dorset, Purbeck and East Dorset, to be known as Dorset Council.
This took effect on 1 April 2019
Since categories for the old districts were in place to link to their localities, these have been retained,
and should be maintained to represent electoral constituencies.
