Research and information

The Research and Information team provides research and analytic services to the Local Government Association (LGA) and help and support to the local government sector.

We work to:

• improve and develop evidence, data and research on and for the local government sector
• ensure that the sector can access and benefit from this resource.

We work in partnership with many colleagues and organisations in local government, and with research bodies in the wider world.

About us
