Department for Communities and Local Government

The Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) was a UK government department responsible for supporting local governments, communities, and housing policies. It aimed to promote sustainable communities, improve local services, and ensure effective local governance. The department worked on issues like affordable housing, urban development, and local infrastructure. In 2018, it was replaced by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government. Essentially, DCLG's role was to help create vibrant, well-functioning neighborhoods and support local authorities in delivering services to residents.
