Association of Greater Manchester Authorities
- Association of Greater Manchester Authorities
The Association of Greater Manchester Authorities (AGMA) is an association which represents the ten local authorities of Greater Manchester, a metropolitan county in North West England. It was created in 1986 after the Greater Manchester County Council was abolished.
AGMA seeks to act as a single voice for Greater Manchester, and also seeks to promote co-ordination on strategic issues affecting the county. It also provides some services across Greater Manchester, and also funds the Greater Manchester County Record Office.
AGMA has a permanent office in Brussels to represent Greater Manchester at a European level. [http://www.greater-manchester.eu]
In recent years the AGMA has invited representative from local unitary authorities in North West England to be associate members. These are Blackpool, Blackburn with Darwen and Warrington.
