We are the national voice of local government, working with councils to support, promote and improve local government.
E-bulletins
Our e-bulletins are designed to give you relevant, timely information about the areas that matter to you. From daily news headlines to the latest on what's happening in adult social care, there is an e-bulletin for you.
first magazine
‘first' is the LGA's monthly membership magazine for our 18,200 councillors and local authority chief executives in England and Wales
We are a political organisation because it is our elected representatives from all different political parties that direct the organisation through our boards and panels. However, we always strive to agree a common cross-party position on issues and to speak with one voice on behalf of local government.
We aim to set the political agenda and speak in the national media on the issues that matter to council members. The LG Group covers every part of England and Wales and includes county and district councils, metropolitan and unitary councils, London boroughs, Welsh unitary councils, fire, police, national park and passenger transport authorities.
We also work with the individual political parties through the political group offices.
