Telford and Wrekin Council is the local authority for the unitary authority of Telford and Wrekin in the ceremonial county of Shropshire, England. Until 1 April 1998 it was a non-metropolitan district. Since the last boundary changes in 2015, 54 councillors have been elected from 30 wards. Political control
Wrekin district was created under the Local Government Act 1972 as a non-metropolitan district, with Shropshire County Council providing county-level services. The first election to the district council was held in 1973, initially operating as a shadow authority before coming into its powers on 1 April 1974. During 1974 the council changed the district's name to "The Wrekin" rather than just "Wrekin". On 1 April 1998 the district changed its name to "Telford and Wrekin" and became a unitary authority, becoming independent from Shropshire County Council.
