This Order makes minor alterations to the boundary between the metropolitan counties of Greater Manchester and West Yorkshire by transferring two small areas from Oldham in the former county to Kirklees in the latter.

This Order also transfers areas between metropolitan boroughs within Greater Manchester. Oldham, Rochdale, the city of Manchester, and Tameside are affected. The map and table at the end of this Note give a general guide to the areas affected and the changes made. The table also gives a approximate figure for the total area of land involved (in hectares), and for the population affected.

For full details of the transfers made, the order maps (described in article 2) should be inspected. Any person may inspect them at any reasonable time at the offices of the council for each metropolitan borough or city affected, and also at the offices of the Secretary of State for the Environment located in 2, Marsham Street, London SW1P 3EB.

Consequential changes are made to local government electoral areas, petty sessional divisions and coroners' districts. The Local Government Area Changes Regulations 1976 (S.I. 1976/246, amended by S.I. 1978/247) contain general provisions regarding the effect of orders such as this one.
