The LGA offers all authorities which change political control (whether to a single party administration or to no overall control) free support from our member peers for up to five days and this, typically, can involve facilitating workshops and away days to build relationships, clarifying strategic priorities and mentoring for leaders or portfolio holders.

If you think this is something that can help your authority, do please contact the Principal Adviser for your area.
