Taunton Deane was a local government district with borough status in Somerset, England. Its council was based in Taunton.

The district was formed on 1 April 1974, under the Local Government Act 1972, by a merger of the Municipal Borough of Taunton, Wellington Urban District, Taunton Rural District, and Wellington Rural District.

Taunton Deane was granted borough status in 1975, perpetuating the mayoralty of Taunton.[1]

The district was given the name of an alternative form of the Taunton Deane Hundred.

In September 2016, West Somerset and Taunton Deane councils agreed in principle to merge the districts into one (with one council) subject to consultation.[2] The new district would not be a unitary authority, with Somerset County Council still performing its functions.[3] In March 2018 both councils voted in favour of the merger and it came into effect on 1 April 2019, with the first elections to the new council in May 2019. The new district was known as Somerset West and Taunton.[4][5][6]

Governance

See also: Taunton Deane Borough Council elections

The district was governed by Taunton Deane Borough Council, and had periods of both Conservative and Liberal Democrat control, as well as times under no overall control. At the final election in 2015, the Conservatives gained an increased majority on the council.[7]

Party Seats Held Net Gain/Loss Votes Received
