Manse Road (District Electoral Area)
Manse Road was one of the five district electoral areas in Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland which existed from 1985 to 1993. The district elected five members to Newtownabbey Borough Council, and formed part of the South Antrim constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.
It was created for the 1985 local elections, replacing Newtownabbey Area C and Newtownabbey Area D which had existed since 1973, and contained the wards of Ballyduff, Burnthill, Carnmoney, Hawthorne and Mossley. It was abolished for the 1993 local elections and replaced with the Antrim Line DEA and the University DEA.
