Lords report calls for action on housing crisis
The Lords Built Environment Committee has called on the Government to address barriers to building much-needed new homes.
In the latest issue:
Funding for expert advice on housing
Thirty projects are to receive up to £25,000 each to help 90 councils overcome housing challenges in their local areas.
Improving building safety
Leaseholders will have more protection from costly remediation bills.
Leadership talent
The LGA’s Local Government Challenge is looking for the council superstars of the future.
Empowering girls on domestic abuse
Domestic abuse is an epidemic – one that young people experience disproportionately, despite a common misconception that it only affects adults who live together.
Representative of our communities
The LGA has commissioned new research to help inform its Be a Councillor campaign
COVID restrictions lifted as Omicron peak passes
Face coverings and COVID passes are no longer legally required in England, after the relaxation of Plan B rules came into effect in late January.
Timely audit opinions
Delayed audit opinions are a major blight on local government’s assurance framework, and it is no surprise they have attracted the strongly expressed concerns of the Public Accounts Committee.
