Continuing to deliver real change
As the Conservatives in local government reflect on the results of May’s local elections, the LGA Conservative Group will remain a dominant force in representing the priorities of Conservative councillors across the country.
A strong voice for local government
Congratulations to councillors elected in May, and a special welcome to those of you elected for the first time.
A fantastic set of results
This May saw a fantastic set of results for the Liberal Democrats.
Changing lives for the better
A warm welcome to all our new and returning councillors. We look forward to an exciting time ahead, changing lives for the better.
How not to implement policy
Ninety per cent of cab drivers opposed, 80 per cent of outer London businesses opposed and 80 per cent of outer London employees opposed.
Making a choice on who runs services
We are now just days away from the local elections, where voters face a choice at the ballot box over who runs vital local public services.
The most trusted form of government
Can I send a big thank you to those standing down as councillors this May. You have made a real difference to thousands of people across the country.
Bringing impartiality to sector-led support
The recent Corporate Peer Challenge (CPC) on the LGA (see first 682) highlighted the value of its sector support offer.
Key Budget wins for local government
In advance of May’s local elections, local government secured key wins in last month’s Budget, with many of these resulting from continuous lobbying by the LGA and Conservative councillors over recent months. In 2019, our party committed to delivering devolution to people and places across the UK.
