The Association of Greater Manchester Authorities (AGMA) is the local
government association for Greater Manchester, a metropolitan county in North
West England. The 1985 Local Government Act devolved power to
local areas but also recognised that there were some functions that needed to
be co-ordinated at a metropolitan level. AGMA was formed to undertake these
functions. It was established in 1986 as a voluntary organisation to
represent the ten district councils of Greater Manchester after the Greater
Manchester County Council was abolished.

surrounding areas to join AGMA as associate members. Blackburn with Darwen and
Blackpool Councils have
responded positively to this invitation.
