Chester is a non-metropolitan local government district of Cheshire, England, with the status of a city and a borough.
Apart from Chester itself, which is the principal settlement, the district covers a large rural area. Other settlements include Malpas and Tarvin.
The district was formed on April 1, 1974, under the Local Government Act 1972, by the merger of the existing city and county borough of Chester with the Chester Rural District and Tarvin Rural District. The district council uses the name Chester City Council[1].
In 2007, plans were announced to combine the district with the neighbouring boroughs of Ellesmere Port and Neston and Vale Royal, to form a new "West Cheshire" unitary authority[2].
