Local Government Association

Your Committee has reviewed the work of the Local Government Association (LGA), the City of London Corporation’s involvement with that outside body and the appointment of our representatives on it. The City Corporation’s current representative serves in this capacity on an informal basis and it was therefore concluded that this should be formalised.

Whilst the appointment of the City Corporation’s LGA representative is currently delegated to the Policy and Resources Committee, appointments in London local authorities’ are generally determined at a meeting of the full council on an annual basis. It was therefore felt that the suggested City Corporation’s representatives should be endorsed by the Court of Common Council.

A separately printed and circulated report has therefore been submitted. It provides you with details of the work of the LGA and recommends the appointment of two representatives to serve as the City Corporation’s representatives on the LGA’s General Assembly.
