At the end of the previous season South & West Division was renamed West Division.
At the end of the season a new division was created at the seventh level. To make up the number of clubs at the seventh level two clubs from each eighth division, one club with best points-per-game and six play-off winners were promoted this season. Also, a new division was added at the eighth level under the Isthmian League, while the number of clubs in every eighth division was decreased to 20. To make up the number of clubs only one club was relegated from division.
West Division for this season featured four new clubs:
- Bristol Manor Farm, promoted from the Western League
- Cinderford Town, relegated from the Premier Division
- Cirencester Town, relegated from the Premier Division
- Kidlington, transferred from Division One Central
