Working together locally and nationally
For the first time in 15 years, Labour councillors from around the country came together at the Labour Local Government Conference under a Labour Government.
Local government
Retaining the ‘local’ in local government
As we continue to discuss devolution and the reorganisation of local government following the publication of the English Devolution White Paper, the one question councillors need to have on their minds is: how does this benefit my community?
Local government ‘remains on life support’
The first Labour Government Budget since 2009 has met with a mixed response among Liberal Democrats in local authorities.
LG Challenge winner announced
Islington Council’s Faith Scott Deuchar has won the LGA’s Local Government Challenge 2024, with a project seeking to understand why some families disengage from early help services.
Local government needs more equal relationship
All politics is local and that is precisely the message the LGA Conservative Group has been getting across to the candidates in the Conservative leadership election.
Pay awards
The Government is to fund pay awards for parts of the public sector, but its announcement over the summer did not provide any additional funding for pay in local government.
LGA ‘offer’ to new government
The new Parliament presents a great opportunity for national and local government to work in partnership and reset the relationship between them, to deliver transformative change, the LGA has said.
