The City of Lancaster, or simply Lancaster (/ˈlæŋkæstər/),[2][3] is a local government district with city status in Lancashire, England. It is named after its largest settlement, Lancaster, and also includes the towns of Carnforth, Heysham and Morecambe and a wider rural hinterland. The district has a population of 144,446 (2022),[4] and an area of 219 square miles (567 km2).[5]

Much of the district's rural area is recognised for its natural beauty; it includes part of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and parts of the designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty of Arnside and Silverdale and the Forest of Bowland. The neighbouring districts are Westmorland and Furness, North Yorkshire, Ribble Valley and Wyre.

## History

[edit]

The town of Lancaster was an ancient borough, with its earliest known charter dating from 1193. A later charter in 1337 gave it the right to appoint a mayor.[6] It was reformed to become a municipal borough in 1836, governed by a body formally called the "mayor, aldermen and burgesses of the borough of Lancaster", but generally known as the corporation or town council.[7] In 1937 the borough was awarded city status.[8]

The modern district was created on 1 April 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, covering the territory of five former districts which were abolished at the same time:[9][10]

* Carnforth Urban District
* Lancaster Municipal Borough
* Lancaster Rural District
* Lunesdale Rural District
* Morecambe and Heysham Municipal Borough

The new district was awarded borough status from its creation, allowing the chair of the council to take the title of mayor, continuing Lancaster's series of mayors dating back to 1337.[11] The city status which had been held by the old municipal borough of Lancaster since 1937 was also transferred to the new district on its creation.[12][13]

Since 1 August 2016 the district has included a small part of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.[14]

Lancaster City Council provides district-level services. County-level services are provided by Lancashire County Council. Much of the district is covered by civil parishes, which form a third tier of local government.[18]

In the part of the district within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, town planning is the responsibility of the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority. The city council appoints one of its councillors to serve on the 25-person National Park Authority.[19]

### Political control

[edit]

The council has been under no overall control since 2019. An administration led by the Green Party formed in November 2024, with cabinet positions being shared between the Greens, Liberal Democrats and local party the Morecambe Bay Independents.[20][21]

The first election to the city council as enlarged by the Local Government Act 1972 was held in 1973, initially operating as a shadow authority alongside the outgoing authorities before coming into its powers on 1 April 1974. Political control of the council since 1974 has been as follows:[22][23]

Party | Period

|

| Conservative | 1974–1987
| No overall control | 1987–1995
| Labour | 1995–1999
| No overall control | 1999–2017
| Labour | 2017–2019
| No overall control | 2019–present

### Leadership

[edit]

The role of mayor is largely ceremonial in Lancaster, with political leadership instead provided by the leader of the council. The leaders since 1993 have been:

Councillor | Party | From | To

Stanley Henig[24] |  | Labour | pre-1993 | May 1999

Caroline Jackson[35][20] |  | Green | 25 Nov 2024 |

### Composition

[edit]

Following the 2023 election[36], and subsequent changes of allegiance up to June 2025, the composition of the council was:[37]

Party  | Councillors

|

| Green | 23
| Labour | 20
| Liberal Democrats | 7
| Conservative | 5
| Morecambe Bay Independents | 3
| Independent | 3
Total  | 61

Two of the three independent councillors sit together as a group. The next election is due in 2027.[37]

### Elections

[edit]

See also: Lancaster City Council elections

Since the last boundary changes in 2023 the council has comprised 61 councillors representing 27 wards, with each ward electing one, two or three councillors. Elections are held every four years.[38]

The district contains parts of two parliamentary constituencies: Lancaster and Wyre and Morecambe and Lunesdale.[39] Both have been held by Labour since 2024.[40][41]

The district contains 10 of the 82 electoral divisions for elections to Lancashire County Council: Heysham, Lancaster Central, Lancaster East, Lancaster Rural East, Lancaster Rural North, Lancaster South East, Morecambe Central, Morecambe North, Morecambe South, and Skerton.[42] Elections are held every four years. In the 2025 county council elections, Reform UK won control of the county and seven of the district's seats, the other three being won by the Green Party of England and Wales.[43]

### Premises

[edit]

Town Hall, Dalton Square, Lancaster

The council has two main meeting places, both inherited from predecessor authorities: Lancaster Town Hall and Morecambe Town Hall. Full council meetings are held in the larger council chamber of Morecambe Town Hall, but Lancaster Town Hall is also used for committee meetings and houses administrative functions.[44]
