The Local Government Association

The Local Government Association (LGA) is a national body in the UK that represents and supports local councils, which are responsible for providing public services like education, transportation, social care, and waste management. The LGA works to influence government policies, share best practices, and provide practical guidance to help councils serve their communities effectively. It serves as a collective voice for local authorities, advocating for their needs and interests, and promoting innovative, efficient local governance to improve residents' quality of life.
