Legal challenge on virtual council meetings
The LGA is supporting a legal challenge to a decision not to extend emergency legislation on virtual council meetings, calling it “extremely disappointing”.
Covid-19
Rising to the challenges of COVID-19
The past year has been like no other. The COVID-19 virus has taken a huge toll on our communities, with each death a terrible loss.
Enforcing coronavirus regulations
Councils’ enforcement and compliance teams have been stretched thin in response to the pandemic.
Fixing the council safety net
In April 2013, the Government changed how crisis support was delivered.
Challenging false vaccine information
I was delighted to see the LGA running a number of webinars recently on vaccine communications and tackling hesitancy and misinformation.
Disabled people at risk
Nearly six out of every 10 people who died with coronavirus in England last year were disabled, official figures suggest.
More people advised to shield
The number of people considered to be clinically extremely vulnerable (CEV) to COVID-19 and advised to shield has been expanded by an additional 1.7 million.
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.
Leading the local recovery
More than 20 local authorities have contributed to a new ‘playbook’ on economic recovery, commissioned by the LGA.
