Governance
[edit]Prior to 1894, Wareside was part of thecivil parishof Ware. Under theLocal Government Act 1894any parish which straddled urban and ruralsanitary districts,as Ware did, was to be split to have separate parishes for each part. The part of the parish of Ware outside the urban sanitary district therefore became the parish of Ware Rural with effect from 4 December 1894, when the firstparish meetingwas held. Later that month, on 28 December 1894, the similarly named but much largerWare Rural Districtcame into effect as the higher tier authority. The Ware Rural District covered several parishes, including the Ware Rural parish.[5]
Ware Rural parish was initially governed by a parish meeting, but a parish council was established for it in April 1895.[6]Ware Rural parish became part of thedistrictof East Hertfordshire on 1 April 1974, when the Ware Rural District was abolished. The parish of Ware Rural was renamed Wareside on 2 May 1991, with the parish taking the name of the largest settlement within its boundaries.[7]
