==Governance== [[File:Myrtle Grove, Bingley.jpg|thumb|[[Myrtle Grove, Bingley|Myrtle Grove]], which became the council headquarters in 1926]] Bingley was part of the [[Wapentake]] of [[Skyrack]], which was in turn part of the [[West Riding of Yorkshire]]. The ancient parish of Bingley included the [[chapelry]] of [[Morton, West Yorkshire|Morton]] and several other hamlets, including [[Cullingworth]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/WRY/Bingley/Bingley68.html|title=Genuki: BINGLEY: Geographical and Historical information from the year 1868., Yorkshire (West Riding)|last=GENUKI|website=www.genuki.org.uk|access-date=25 January 2018}}</ref> In 1866, the parish was divided into the new civil parishes of Bingley and Morton. In 1898, [[Bingley Urban District]] was formed; by 1926, all council administration had been transferred to [[Myrtle Grove, Bingley|Myrtle Grove]] which became the town hall.<ref>{{cite book|last=Cattell|first=Alan|title=Bingley, a Living History|year=2016|publisher=Chris Thorpe Graphic Design|location=Halifax|isbn=978-0-9956437-0-3|pages=74β75}}</ref> In 1974 the urban district and civil parish were abolished and absorbed into the City of Bradford Metropolitan District in the new county of West Yorkshire. Bingley became a [[ward (politics)|ward]] in the [[City of Bradford|Bradford metropolitan district]]. A civil parish called Bingley Town Council was established on 1 April 2016 following a petition to Bradford Council in October 2015. This followed a two-year campaign by the Bingley Community Council Group. Elections were held in May 2016 for the first councillors for the new Bingley Town Council.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Shand|first1=Alistair|title=New Bingley town council β incorporating Crossflatts β is
