greater manchester county council

The Greater Manchester County Council (GMCC) was the former upper-tier administrative body for Greater Manchester, a metropolitan county in England. It was established on April 1, 1974, and functioned for the next twelve years. Along with five other metropolitan county councils and the Greater London Council it was abolished in March 1986 by the government of Margaret Thatcher. The GMCC was a strategic authority running regional services such as transport, civil protection and strategic town and country planning. Elections were held to the council in 1973, 1977 and 1981. Upon its abolition, most of the functions of the council were devolved to the metropolitan district councils, and some of its functions such as emergency services and public transport continued to be run on a county-wide basis, administered by joint-boards of appointed councillors from the metropolitan district councils. Its assets were split between the Greater Manchester Residuary Body and the boroughs councils of Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford and Wigan.
