Derry City and Strabane District Council is a proposed Northern Irish local government district. Under the latest decision by the Review of Public Administration the district would be created by merging Derry City Council and Strabane District Council.
The new district will cover parts of counties Londonderry and Tyrone, and border County Donegal in the Republic of Ireland. The district will have an electorate of 92,593.[cite web | title=Provisional Recommendations of the Local Government Boundaries Commissioner for Northern Ireland| work=LGBC | url=http://www.lgbc-ni.org/index/provisional_recommendations.htm | accessdate=2008-09-26] The name of the new District was announced on September 17.
