dbpprop:abstract	Leeds is a local government district of West Yorkshire, England, with the status of a city and metropolitan borough. As the name suggests, it covers the city of Leeds, which encompasses the townships of Wetherby and Otley, as well as a wide area of Leeds commuter belt. The district has a population of 761,100 (2007 est. ) and is a member of the English Core Cities Group. The current city boundaries were set as part of the provisions of the Local Government Act 1972, and cover an amalgamation of ten former local government districts from the West Riding of Yorkshire and the former politically independent City and County Borough of Leeds, all abolished in 1974. The cities of Bradford and Wakefield lie to the west and south respectively. To the southwest is Dewsbury and the Metropolitan Borough of Kirklees; to the north is the county of North Yorkshire.
