The reorganization of the borders and the competencies of the local authorities resulted in the formation of the Metropolitan Borough in 1974.

In 1986 Bradford became a de facto unitary authority when the central government dissolved the superordinate administration of West Yorkshire. Bradford remained part of West Yorkshire for ceremonial purposes , as well as for individual higher-level functions such as police, fire services and public transport.
