 | | For the first twelve years after the county was created in 1974, the county had a two-tier system of local government, and the boroughs shared power with the Greater Manchester County Council. | | | As well as Manchester, the county includes major centres such as Bolton, Oldham, Salford, Stockport and Wigan. | | | Despite the abolition of the county council, the boroughs jointly administer some services on a county-wide basis. |
