Summary

At the 28 July 2000 meeting of the Authority, it was confirmed that the MPA would join the Association for London Government.

The ALG provides its members, which now includes the GLA, MPA, the 32 London Boroughs, the Corporation of London and LFCDA – with a single voice in negotiating with central, local and regional tiers of government. It advises its members on a wide range of issues, including Community Safety and Policing issues. (See terms of reference see Appendix 1).

The ALG's Community Safety and Policing Panel has representation from borough councillors from each borough with lead responsibility for Community Safety. The membership list see Appendix 2.

Membership arrangements

The CDO Committee can nominate up to three representatives to sit on the Community Safety & Policing Panel. R. David Muir was nominated by the full Authority, however, the apportionment of the other two members was delegated to the CDO Committee.

Officers will be meeting the ALG Community Policy Officer to obtain a better understanding of the ALG's processes and involvement with other stakeholders/partners, in order to assess the level of access that the Committee members of the Panel would have to borough Chief Executives. The outcome of this meeting will be reported into the workshop on 16 October 2000.
