Local Government Association

Another key partner associated with the Compact is the Local Government Association (LGA).

Formed on 1 April 1997, the LGA promotes the interests of English and Welsh local authorities.

It exists to promote better local government and works with and for its member authorities to realise a shared vision of local government that enables local people to shape a distinctive and better future for their locality and its communities.

It aims to put local councils at the heart of the drive to improve public services and to work with the government to ensure that the policy, legislative and financial context in which they operate, supports that objective.

Based in Westminster, the LGA is a voluntary lobbying organisation. Its members include county councils, metropolitan district councils, English unitary authorities, London boroughs, shire district councils and Welsh unitary authorities. It also represents fire authorities, police authorities, national park authorities and passenger transport authorities.
