Scope and Content
Administrative / Biographical History
The Local Government (Wales) Act, 1994 replaced the then tiers of local government at district and county level with single tier unitary authorities. The new Flintshire County Council covers the geographical area formerly served by Delyn Borough Council and Alyn and Deeside District Council and became responsible for all the services delivered in that area by Clwyd County Council and the two district councils. The Act came into force on 1 April 1996, but throughout the previous twelve months a shadow Flintshire County Council planned the organisation and delivery of its future services.

Archivist's Note
The records of the new Flintshire County Council were allocated the collection code FN which contrasts them with the records of the pre-1974 Flintshire County Council, FC. The corporate activities of the new county council are distinguished in classes by a numerical sequence e.g. FN/1 Flintshire County Council Shadow Authority, FN/2 County Council Minutes and so forth. The departments of the new county council were allocated an alphabetic sequence e.g. FN/A Chief Executive, FN/B Finance
