Shantallow (District Electoral Area)

Shantallow DEA (1993-2014) within Derry

Shantallow was one of the five district electoral areas in Derry, Northern Ireland which existed from 1985 to 2014. The district elected five members to Derry City Council, and formed part of the Foyle constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.

It was created for the 1985 local elections, replacing Londonderry Area E which had existed since 1973, and contained the wards of Ballynashallog, Carn Hill, Culmore, Shantallow East and Shantallow West. It was abolished for the 2014 local elections and replaced with the Ballyarnett DEA.
