COSLA (Convention of Scottish Local Authorities)

COSLA, or the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities, is an organization that represents Scotland's local government. It acts as a voice for local councils, helping them work together on issues affecting their communities. By lobbying the Scottish Government, COSLA aims to influence policies and secure funding for local services such as education, health, and transportation. Additionally, it provides support, guidance, and training for local authorities to improve their operations and decision-making. Ultimately, COSLA plays a crucial role in ensuring that local councils can effectively serve the people of Scotland.
