====Non-metropolitan districts====

A list of non-metropolitan districts can be found at [[List of English districts]].  The Local Government Boundary Commission originally proposed 278 non-metropolitan districts in April 1972 (still working with the county boundaries found in the Bill).  A further eighteen districts were added in the final proposals of November 1972, which were then ordered.

The splits were as follows (in most cases the splits were not exact, and many other changes to the borders of the districts took place at this time)

*Devon: [[Torridge District|Torridge]]/[[North Devon]]
*Dorset : [[Weymouth and Portland]]/[[Purbeck (district)|Purbeck]], [[North Dorset]]/[[East Dorset]]
*Durham : [[Wear Valley]]/[[Teesdale]]
*Hereford and Worcester : [[Hereford]]/[[South Herefordshire]]/[[Leominster (district)|Leominster]]
*Humberside: [[Holderness (borough)|Holderness]]/[[East Yorkshire (district)|North Wolds]]
*Isle of Wight: [[South Wight]]/[[Medina (borough)|Medina]]
*Lancashire: [[Hyndburn]]/[[Borough of Rossendale|Rossendale]]
*Leicestershire : [[Rutland]]/[[Melton (borough)|Melton]], [[Harborough District|Harborough]]/[[Oadby and Wigston]]
*Lincolnshire: [[Boston (borough)|Boston]]/[[South Holland, Lincolnshire|South Holland]]
*Northamptonshire: [[Daventry (district)|Daventry]]/[[South Northamptonshire]]
*Northumberland : [[Berwick-upon-Tweed (borough)|Berwick-upon-Tweed]]/[[Alnwick (district)|Alnwick]]
*Shropshire : [[Oswestry (borough)|Oswestry]]/[[North Shropshire]], [[Bridgnorth (district)|Bridgnorth]]/[[South Shropshire]]
*Somerset: [[Taunton Deane]]/[[West Somerset]]
*Suffolk: [[Forest Heath]]

The new district in Suffolk was necessitated by the decision to keep Newmarket in Suffolk; which would otherwise have become part of the East Cambridgeshire district.

====Isles of Scilly====
Section 265 of the Act allowed for the continuation of the local government arrangements for the Isles of Scilly.<ref>{{Cite legislation UK|type=act|year=1972|chapter=70|act=Local Government Act 1972|si=}}</ref> The Isles of Scilly Rural District Council became the [[Council of the Isles of Scilly]], and certain services were to continue to be provided by Cornwall County Council as provided by [[Statutory Instrument (UK)|order made by the Secretary of State]], although the Isles were not technically in Cornwall before or after 1974.{{clarification needed |reason=The Council of the Isles of Scilly was set up in 1890 under the 1889 LBA Order (applying the 1888 Local Government Act) and its powers modified by the 1930 LBA order (applying the 1929 Local Government Act). None of the acts use Rural District Council, using County Council when they do specify. The 1972 Local Government Act allowed the Council to continue under the name it always seems to have had. |date=May 2025}}
