A county usually consists of several towns and the rural areas that surround them; Rutland is the smallest county in England.; Texas is divided into 254 counties.
These smaller parts are called counties, and each county has a county council, like Westhamptonshire County Council.
And now, think about a county, any county, and imagine this county divided into five or six different areas.
We're chosen by the people of Westhamptonshire County to be members of the council.
