Bushvale (District Electoral Area)

Bushvale was one of the three district electoral areas in Ballymoney, Northern Ireland which existed from 1985 to 2014. The district elected five members to Ballymoney Borough Council, and formed part of the North Antrim constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.

It was created for the 1985 local elections, replacing Ballymoney Area B that had existed since 1973, and contained the wards of Ballyhoe and Corkey, Benvardin, Dervock, Knockaholet and Stranocum. It was abolished for the 2014 local elections and divided between the Ballymoney DEA and The Glens DEA.
