Herefordshire Council is the local government authority for the county of Herefordshire in England. It is a unitary authority.

It is a relatively new council, formed on 1 April 1998 following the split of Hereford and Worcester back into two separate counties.

It is currently run by Conservatives.[1] It has adopted the Leader and Cabinet constitutional model.[2] The current Leader is Cllr Roger Phillips, who has appointed a cabinet of 9 other councillors, each with a separate portfolio of Council activity, for which they take political responsibility. The Council administers the County from a number of scattered office locations, but its primary address is the hub of its managerial and democratic activity at Brockington, 35 Hafod Road, Hereford HR1 1SH.[3]
