Governance

The parish currently falls within the unitary authority of Cheshire West and Chester and within the Westminster constituency of Eddisbury.

Until 1 April 2015, Duddon and Burton were separate civil parishes. However Burton had neither a parish council nor a parish meeting, and, consequently, the duties that would normally be performed by these bodies were the responsibility of Cheshire West and Chester Council.

From 1 April 2015, Burton parish was merged with Duddon parish to create a new, larger parish.[1][2] On the 1 July 2017 the new parish was renamed to Duddon and Burton.[3]
