Review of Public Administration
Under the Review of Public Administration (RPA) the council is due to merge with Cookstown District Council and Dungannon and South Tyrone Borough Council in 2011 to form a single council, named Mid-Ulster District Council, for the enlarged area totalling 1714 km² and a population of 120, 096. The next election was due to take place in May 2009, but on 25 April 2008, Shaun Woodward, Secretary of State for Northern Ireland announced that the scheduled 2009 district council elections were to be postponed until the introduction of the eleven new councils in 2011. This super-council however has been postponed for at least five years as of 2010.
