LGA Chair Cllr Louise Gittins met her predecessors over the summer to discuss “all things local government” and the importance of cross-party working.
She met her immediate predecessor, Cllr Shaun Davies MP, the former Leader of Telford & Wrekin Council, who was elected as Labour MP for Telford in July. In addition, she caught up with Conservative former LGA Chairmen Cllr Lord James Jamieson OBE and Lord Gary Porter CBE, in Westminster.
Lord Porter tweeted: “Always a pleasure to talk about the importance of local government (and the great members and staff who work in the sector) to delivering the services our country depends on. Really good to touch on the vital role the LGA plays in holding Westminster to account for its promises.”
