Tackling the climate emergency
The LGA has been raising councils’ environmental concerns with MPs and Peers.
Building safety and health care integration
The Building Safety Bill and the Health and Care Bill will be two of the LGA’s legislative priorities in the autumn, when Parliament returns from recess in early September.
A child-centred recovery
A cross-government strategy is needed to ensure children and young people can thrive, no matter where they are from.
Parliamentary priorities
The LGA is seeking to influence a range of new legislation that affects the work of councils.
A covenant of support
Every council in Britain has an Armed Forces Covenant setting out how it will support former and serving members of the armed forces and their families locally.
Raising local election concerns
The LGA has highlighted to MPs safety issues and the extra costs of running ballots during the pandemic.
Tackling domestic abuse
The LGA supports the creation of a statutory definition of domestic abuse, and the inclusion of economic abuse within this. We are also pleased to see that the new legislation will place the role of the domestic abuse commissioner on a statutory footing.
Learning the lessons
Certain key public services are best delivered locally, according to a landmark review of the pandemic.
