Wouldn't Greater London be considered a Metropolitan County since it has the same structure as Greater Manchester and the West Midlands?2602:306:CC42:8340:8D28:A27D:3FBD:4499 (talk) 20:32, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
when where the MCs established? 1974?
How can this be true? The abolition of the two-tier system, and hence any kind of stragic "metropolitan" value these entities had, was already being planned only nine years after their creation. What was left was a series of unitary authorities, and a mess of joint boards instead of the grand unified "metropolitan" plan. This is no better than what was in place prior to their creation — in fact it is exactly the same. What it has done though is leave a legacy of confused identity in the areas that this grand expriment was conducted in. I would hardly call that a success. The assertion that two major regorganisations of government in twelve years to leave the situation worse than it was before "is a success" has no citation and is demonstrably untrue.

Actually I wonder why ordnance survey maps have stopped showing the met counties. It seems to have been a recent thing. I have an OS map of the Greater Manchester area from 1993, some seven years after the county council's demise, which shows Gtr Manchester. I have seen the latest version of the map from 2005 which only shows the Met boroughs. I wonder why this has been done? Are the OS under the false impression that the Met counties no longer exist or something? Can anyone shed some light on this. G-Man * 23:36, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
Or maybe they don't exist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.189.103.145 (talk) 18:14, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
There extra space right after the 24th footnote. Please remove it. If it's a bug, report it to bugzilla.24.65.69.8 (talk) 00:05, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
"The metropolitan districts had more powers than non-metropolitan districts, in that they were responsible for services such as education, and social services. In the non-metropolitan counties these were the responsibility of the county councils." vs. table on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_government_district#Functions_and_powers 71.171.138.221 (talk) 23:00, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
The encyclopedia needs to go beyond nonsensical official versions of the truth. These counties only actually exist as ceremonial ones and the article needs to be historical (rather than purporting to be about something current). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.189.103.145 (talk) 18:29, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
