2009 Structural Changes
In April 2009 the following changes were made to the non-metropolitan counties:
| Non-metropolitan county | Action |
|---|---|
| Bedford (borough) | Also became a non-metropolitan county |
| Bedfordshire | Abolished |
| Central Bedfordshire | New non-metropolitan county |
| Cheshire | Abolished |
| Cheshire East | New non-metropolitan county |
| Cheshire West and Chester | New non-metropolitan county |
The effect was that Bedfordshire and Cheshire became ceremonial counties that do not correspond to a non-metropolitan county of the same name.

Famous quotes containing the word structural:
“The reader uses his eyes as well as or instead of his ears and is in every way encouraged to take a more abstract view of the language he sees. The written or printed sentence lends itself to structural analysis as the spoken does not because the reader’s eye can play back and forth over the words, giving him time to divide the sentence into visually appreciated parts and to reflect on the grammatical function.”
—J. David Bolter (b. 1951)
