The Local Government Association is a political organisation. It’s membership comprises elected representatives from all different political parties that direct the organisation through its boards and panels. The organisation aims to agree a common cross-party position on issues and to speak with one voice on behalf of local government.
The LG Group covers every part of England and Wales and includes county and district councils, metropolitan and unitary councils, London boroughs, Welsh unitary councils, fire, police, national park and passenger transport authorities.
The organisation also works with the individual political parties through the political group offices.
