HISTORY Manchester was incorporated in 1838 under the Municipal Corporations Act 1835 as the Corporation of Manchester or '''Manchester Corporation'''. It achieved City Status in 1853, only the second such grant since the Reformation . Under the Local Government Act 1972 the council was reconstituted as a Metropolitan Borough council. POLITICAL MAKEUP Elections are usually by thirds (a third of the seats elected, three years in every four), although the 2004 elections, due to boundary changes, saw all seats contested. The council has been controlled by the Labour Party since its reconstitution in 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972 . WARDS
