These are all of the stories assigned to the 'editor' of first magazine.

Thank you to everyone who took part in the LGA’s annual conference in Liverpool and contributed to an incredibly thought-provoking and invigorating three days.

A record 1,800 delegates joined hundreds of sponsors, exhibitors and speakers by the Mersey. They discussed the big issues facing local government, heard about cutting-edge council practice in the conference’s Innovation Zone, and renewed political friendships and networks at receptions and dinners.

Keynote political speakers included: Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner; Kevin Hollinrake MP, the then Shadow Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities; Vikki Slade MP, Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for Housing, Communities and Local Government; former Green Party Leader Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle; and Cllr Jaymey McIvor, Director of Local Government at Reform UK. We look forward to seeing you in Bournemouth for next year’s annual conference, from 7-9 July 2026.
