caption_attribution_description: English: Telford and Wrekin borough in Shropshire, England.
context_page_description: Telford and Wrekin is a unitary district with borough status in the West Midlands region of England. The district was created in 1974 as The Wrekin, then a non-metropolitan district of Shropshire. In 1998 the district became a unitary authority and was renamed Telford and Wrekin. It remains part of the Shropshire ceremonial county and shares institutions such as the Fire and Rescue Service and Community Health with the rest of Shropshire.
  The borough's major settlement is Telford, a new town designated in the 1960s incorporating the existing towns of Dawley, Ironbridge, Ketley, Madeley, Oakengates and Wellington. After the Telford conurbation, which includes the aforementioned towns, the next-largest settlement is Newport, a market town separate to the Telford built-up area, located in the northeast of the borough.
  The borough borders Staffordshire, but is mostly surrounded by the non-metropolitan county of Shropshire, whose unitary authority is Shropshire Council. For Eurostat purposes it is a NUTS 3 region and is one of four authority areas that comprise the "Shropshire and Staffordshire" NUTS 2 region.
