Councillor Marianne Overton MBE Elected from within their local communities, and tasked with making decisions that affect the whole community, it is right that councillors are held accountable for their conduct and integrity while fulfilling their role.
The LGA Independent Group’s annual conference discussed devolution.
As global unrest and increasing tariffs unfold, I am very concerned about the threat to our farmland from the drive to install outdated solar panels.
Wishing you a healthy and successful 2025!
We are in tempestuous times, with UK Government announcements expected in a white paper on devolution, local government reform, and the provisional finance settlement – all in the week before Christmas.
It was fantastic to meet so many of you at the LGA’s annual conference, with a record number of Independent Group members attending.
We will shortly be gathering for the ‘Glastonbury of local government’, the LGA’s annual conference in Harrogate.
Welcome to all our MPs, ministers and valued members.
Congratulations! What an election for our group members.
The general election is happening just after our stunning success in the local elections.
