A strategic authority, with responsibilities for roads, public transport, planning, emergency services and waste disposal, it was composed of 106 directly elected members drawn from the ten <a href="/wiki/Metropolitan_borough" title="Metropolitan borough">metropolitan boroughs</a> of Greater Manchester. The Greater Manchester County Council shared power with ten lower-tier district councils, each of which directed local matters.<sup id="cite_ref-RMBC65_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-RMBC65-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It was also known as the <b>Greater Manchester Council</b> (<b>GMC</b>) and the <b>Greater Manchester Metropolitan County Council</b> (<b>GMMCC</b>).<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Established with reference to the <a href="/wiki/Local_Government_Act_1972" title="Local Government Act 1972">Local Government Act 1972</a>, <a href="/wiki/1973_United_Kingdom_local_elections" title="1973 United Kingdom local elections">elections in 1973</a> brought about the county council's launch as a shadow authority, several months before Greater Manchester (its zone of influence) was officially created on 1 April 1974.
