	City of Wakefield - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The district was, for a long time, the council on which the Labour Party held more seats than anywhere else in the country.
		The district is mainly made out of old coal-mining towns, although other industries include wool, chemicals, machine tools, shoddy goods [mainly in Ossett], glass [Castleford] and other forms of manufacturing.
		A decision was made, in 2004, to sell the district's extensive council housing to a private housing association, who would be more efficient with repairs and maintaining decent accommodation; as council housing represented almost 30% of the district, this was the second-largest stock transfer in British history.
