Kennet District Council elections
Kennet District Council was created in 1973 and members were elected every four years thereafter. As part of the 2009 structural changes to local government in England, Kennet and the other three district councils in Wiltshire were abolished, when they were merged into Wiltshire County Council to create a new unitary authority called Wiltshire Council.
