COVID-19 and community behaviour
The LGA has commissioned a report into shifts in public attitudes and behaviour caused by COVID-19 and the implications for local government.
Making a success of the census
Councils can help ensure the 2021 census gives a clear picture of local communities.
#CouncilsCan and do!
More than 130 councils took part in the LGA’s latest tweetathon in support of the vital work of local government.
Making it count
The national census provides crucial data that helps inform the work of local authorities, and councillors have a key role to play in encouraging residents to take part.
Councils can
Local government has delivered during the pandemic – and could do so much more with the right funding.
Return to Work
With half of councils struggling to recruit planners and facing difficulties finding other key professionals in ICT and legal, the LGA and the Government Equalities Office have expanded a national programme to provide free training for returners.
Spotlight on our councils
Learning from the coronavirus crisis and supporting a sustainable recovery were among the themes discussed at the LGA’s virtual Innovation Zone.
Reflecting on recovery and renewal
The LGA has launched a new Remote Peer Support Offer to help councils with their vital work during the pandemic.
Communicating with our communities
During this unprecedented time, it has never been more important for councils to communicate well with their residents.
