The metropolitan borough also absorbed the areas of the following local government districts:

- Municipal Borough of Swinton and Pendlebury which included Swinton, Pendlebury and Clifton;
- Irlam Urban District which included Irlam and Cadishead;
- Worsley Urban District which included Worsley, Wardley, Walkden and part of Boothstown.
