[edit] Population

This is just regarding the two articles of Middlesbrough Town and The Borough of Middlesbrough. According to Middlesbrough Town article, the population is 142,000 but the Borough of Middlesbrough article states 137,800? Is it that the info for the Town article is based on statistics for 2005/6 and the Borough of M'bro is still using the figures from 2001? dj_paul 16:05, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Middlesbrough town / borough

I have posted a question at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_UK_subdivisions regarding the present split between the articles Middlesbrough and Middlesbrough (borough) and invite comments. I note that the articles are mutually contradictory, in that Middlesbrough claims that it is larger than Middlesbrough (borough), but Middlesbrough (borough) identifies places outside Middlesbrough that are in the borough; but these places are places that Middlesbrough claim are in Middlesbrough. Please leave general comments there. Morwen - Talk 23:07, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

I think the 2 articles should be merged since you can see most of the borough is urbanizedBlackwave...... (talk) 18:56, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
