Competitively priced support is available from the LGA
The LGA has launched a new hub designed to offer councils an extensive range of improvement resources and comprehensive support on a chargeable basis, as an addition to its free sector support offer.
LGA Solutions is of the sector and for the sector, and we are passionate about working collaboratively with councils to help you achieve your ambitions. This ethos underpins our approach to services.
Developed with the express aim of helping local government deliver its priorities, LGA Solutions ensures that its services are highly competitive in cost, often below the market rates for similar work.
This commitment reflects the LGA’s dedication to supporting councils in achieving their goals.
LGA Solutions is a comprehensive support network, combining existing chargeable services and newly developed resources to provide councils with expert assistance across various strategic and policy issues.
Whether you need guidance on pressing policy concerns or support in managing the daily operations of your council or combined authority, the LGA Solutions hub is equipped to offer expert help tailored to your needs.
Because LGA Solutions is delivered by teams of proven professionals committed to strengthening local government, it has expertise that you can trust. Our in-house experts bring:
- Sustainable solutions that focus on delivering results, not just diagnosing problems.
- Unparalleled, up-to-date contacts across all government departments.
