This article draws some conclusions about contemporary english central-local relations from the strategies and structures of the LGA. We test three models. The partner model implies that the LGA is, or ought to be, in a trusting and equal relationship with the centre. The bargaining model envisages a centre dependent on local government`s considerable resources and resigned to the necessity for negotiation and compromisse. The strong centre approach posits a central government with the autonomy to impose its policies without the need to enter into meaningful negotiations
