Bingley is a town in the City of Bradford Metropolitan Borough District, West Yorkshire, England, five miles north west of Bradford. It is split into two wards within the City of Bradford: Bingley (estimated population in 2001 was 15,925) and Bingley Rural (estimated population in 2001 was 16,649). Both wards were significantly expanded during the 2004 boundary change so previous population estimates were considerably smaller.
