Local path to net zero
Tackling climate change requires local action, and councils are leading the way.
Councillor David Renard
Planning the way to recovery
The LGA has responded to a government consultation on planning policy and a new model design code.
Decarbonising transport
Practical advice on how councils can help reduce harmful transport emissions has been published by the LGA.
Homes fit for heroes
The LGA is calling for 100,000 new social homes to be built every year, to help kickstart recovery.
First homes
A new scheme to help first-time buyers could reduce the supply of other affordable and social homes for rent.
Fuel for thought
The transition to electric vehicles offers important benefits but needs local infrastructure solutions.
The homes agenda
Councils are approving new homes but need more powers and funding to play a lead role in tackling the national housing shortage.
