Lisburn North is one of the seven district electoral areas (DEA) in Lisburn and Castlereagh, Northern Ireland.[1] The district elects six members to Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council and contains the wards of Derryaghy, Harmony Hill, Hilden, Lambeg, Magheralave and Wallace Park.[2] Lisburn North forms part of the Lagan Valley constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.
It was created for the 1993 local elections, largely replacing the old Lisburn Town DEA and gaining areas from Killultagh DEA, where it contained seven wards (Ballymacash, Ballymacoss, Harmony Hill, Lambeg, Lisnagarvey, Magheralave and Wallace Park), and was known as Lisburn Town North. For the 2014 local elections, it was decreased to six wards, losing Ballymacash, Ballymacoss and Lisnagarvey to Lisburn South DEA but gaining Hilden from Lisburn South DEA and Derryaghy from Dunmurry Cross DEA.
