Background
History
The former Brentwood Urban District had been created in 1899. Urban districts were abolished in 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972. A new non-metropolitan district was created on 1 April 1974 covering the whole of the former Brentwood Urban District plus parts of another two districts, which were all abolished at the same time: The new district was named Brentwood after its main town. The district was awarded borough status on 10 March 1993, allowing the chair of the council to take the title of mayor. Under upcoming local government reform plans the area of the district will be combined with the Chelmsford and Maldon districts to form the new Mid Essex unitary authority from 2028.
