Who will be doing the ‘selecting’, within the Local Government Association?
The LGA is a membership organisation, made up of local councils in England (almost all councils are members). It works as a cross-party organisation, via a series of boards made up of councillors from different local authorities. The political balance across these boards reflects the state of the political parties within local councils across England, at any point in time. Agendas and decisions of LGA boards are published on the LGA website: LGA decision-making bodies Decisions on which proposals to short-list will be made by a new LGA Selector Panel, set up specifically for the purpose. It will be made up of councillors, drawn from across the political parties represented on the LGA.
