LGA (Local Government Association)

The Local Government Association (LGA) is a UK-based organization that represents and supports councils, which are local authorities responsible for services like education, transportation, and social care. The LGA acts as a collective voice, helping councils work together, share best practices, and advocate for policies that benefit local communities. It provides guidance, resources, and lobbying efforts to ensure local governments can effectively serve residents and address local issues within national policy frameworks. Essentially, the LGA helps local councils operate efficiently and have a stronger influence in government decisions impacting their areas.
