To-do list for County Borough of Leeds:

I want to put this article forward as a nominee. Before I do, is there anything we obviously need to address? MRSC ( talk) 09:50, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
On another note, I presume the townships in the 'Municipal borough 1836 – 1889' section refer to the chapelries in the section above? Could we make it clearer that they are the same thing if that is the case. Quantpole ( talk) 18:30, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
Hmmmm. I was thinking of shovelling in some more information but on reviewing WP:GACR and WP:SS I see this might be going into unnecessary detail. For the record this was what I was planning on adding:
1. We have no mention of Leeds Corporation Transport: probably most notable as being the first operators of electric trolleybuses in the UK (albeit jointly with Bradford Corporation Transport). It was one of the constituents of West Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive. There is a poor Leeds Tramway article (which surely needs renaming and has referencing issues) obviously written from a tramlovers POV. I might be able to work this up and link it from a summary section.
2. The politics of the early borough council are interesting: a Whig-Radical alliance were accused of "tyranny" and the Conservatives gave up nominating candidates for a while. This oligarchy appears to have been challenged by the Chartists who had quite a few councillors elected, including the editor of the Northern Star. From the 1890s Leeds saw activity by the Independent Labour Party and Social Democratic Federation. Again, maybe a summary section and a spin off Politics of Leeds 1836–1974 or something?
3. Something about the Coat of arms of Leeds which actually belonged to this municipality and is used by the present city council without authority. The existing article on the subject needs improving but a brief sentence or two could include a link.
4. Some mention of the corporation waterworks, electricity department, gasworks, like we have at County Borough of Bolton.
