LGR: the choice should be yours
There is so much in local government Liberal Democrats want to see changed.
Central-local relations in education
Better outcomes for children depend not only on national policy, but also on how this is implemented locally.
Keeping children safe from violence outside the home
Children’s social care in England is undergoing once-in-a-generation reform.
Faster buses, stronger growth
Buses are Britain’s favourite form of public transport, carrying 11 million passengers every day.
Children’s social care
The Government is reforming children’s social care through new legislation to help improve the sustainability of young people’s social care placements and funding via the Families First Partnership programme.
Shaping places in partnership
As we head towards the LGA’s annual conference, we have been reflecting on this year’s theme: ‘From neighbourhoods to nations – building lasting futures locally’.
Reflecting councillor views on social housing
I am looking forward to welcoming 200 Conservative councillors to Bournemouth next week, at the LGA’s annual conference (7-9 July).
Respectful debates
