		Manchester became a Baronial Borough (thereby an independent self-governing entity) in 1301, still ruled by the Lord of the Manor, but with an appointed "boroughreeve" (or Mayor) who handled day-to-day administration of the borough.
		Manchester was to change very little thereafter until the 16th century.

		Greater Manchester is a metropolitan county which covers an area roughly encompassing the conurbation of which the city of Manchester is the centre.
		Although Manchester forms a conurbation along with Salford, Trafford and Stockport, other boroughs, such as Wigan and Bury are clearly seperate.
		It was initially administered by the "Greater Manchester County Council" but this was abolished in 1986, along with the other metropolitan county councils and the Greater London Council, with most functions being devolved to the metropolitan boroughs.

	Welcome to the Greater Manchester Local Transport Plan Website
		Each of the ten constituent Councils in Greater Manchester is a transportation planning authority, and in addition, the Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Authority, comprising representatives of these authorities, is the public transport planning body.
		In the Greater Manchester conurbation, however, there is such a complex pattern of interlinked movements that the development of the transport system must be addressed on a whole area basis.
		Major improvements to Greater Manchester's public transport system, and the management of the highway network which links the ten Council areas could not be achieved properly without an overall plan.
