Local Government Association

The Local Government Association (LGA) is the national voice for local authorities and works alongside a range of partner organisations to promote better local government. These organisations, which are known as the Central Bodies (so called because these eight bodies are funded nationally from ‘top-sliced' Revenue Support Grant) provide services for the benefit of local authorities generally. Each has a distinct and unique role - with individual expertise and specialisms - but all have a common purpose. To support local authorities to provide the best possible services for the communities that they serve. ( www.lga.gov.uk )
