What is the LGA?

The Local Government Association (LGA) is a politically-led, cross-party organisation that works on behalf of councils to ensure local government has a strong, credible voice within national government. The LGA aims to influence and set the political agenda on the issues that matter to councils and communities so they are able to deliver local solutions to national problems.

The Group influences policy and political decisions through communications, publications and regular meetings between its leading members and senior national politicians.
