Buckinghamshire Council

Buckinghamshire Council is the local authority for the Buckinghamshire district in England. It is a unitary authority, performing both county and district-level functions. It was created on 1 April 2020, replacing the previous Buckinghamshire County Council and the councils of the four abolished districts of Aylesbury Vale, Chiltern, South Bucks, and Wycombe. The district, which is also legally a non-metropolitan county, covers about four-fifths of the area and has about two-thirds of the population of the wider ceremonial county of Buckinghamshire, which also includes the City of Milton Keynes.

The county council had been established in 1889. The county was reformed in 1974, when it ceded Slough, Eton and nearby villages to Berkshire. In 1997, the Borough of Milton Keynes was detached to become a non-metropolitan county in its own right.

The council currently has no overall control, after the Conservative Party lost its majority at the 2025 election. Until 2025 the council had been under majority Conservative control from its creation, as had been the predecessor county council between the reforms of 1974 and its abolition in 2020.
