`  I think mention should be made that between 2002 and 2004 (as far as I recall) the Council was actually NOC, with Labour operating as a minority administration.  Also I've never heard of the Districts being referred to as ``Council Constituencies``, despite what their website says.  If you can come up with a better reference then I will accept it, but every Council paper I've seen refers to them as Districts.  This makes a lot of sense as the existing parliamentary constituencies still have meaning until the next General Election.  `
