There is no authority called Salisbury City Council. The City of Salisbury, only one-sixtieth of the area of the district, is unparished; since 1974 its dignity & privileges have been vested in Charter Trustees.
The district was formed on April 1, 1974, under the Local Government Act 1972, as a merger of the previous municipal boroughs of New Sarum (Salisbury) and Wilton, along with Amesbury Rural District, Mere and Tisbury Rural District and Salisbury and Wilton Rural District.
