155The Head of Democratic and Community Services reported that the Sustainable Communities Act allowed local authorities to submit suggestions to the Local Government Association for issues that they would like the Government to take action on to improve the economic, social or environmental well being of their area.

The LGA would then shortlist from suggestions received from across the country for submission to the Government. Before a bid could be made to the LGA, however, a local authority must first establish a panel of representatives of local persons and consult it about any proposal.

The Secretary of State had now invited bids to be made to the LGA; the closing date for these bids was 31 July 2009.
