There is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to internal communications, but there are things that make success more likely.

Our guide to helping you communicate more effectively with your employees.

The LGA Independent Group represents councillors in England and Wales who are Independent, Green, Plaid Cymru or from smaller parties. We provide our members with a voice at the national level and work within the cross-party Local Government Association (LGA) to ensure that the values and interests of our members are represented. We work within the LGA to shape its policy work as well as parliamentary briefings and press work. We also work with the LGA to advise on and provide improvement support, mentoring, training, and events with our network of member peers.

The LGA Labour Group exists to provide a strong voice for Labour in local government. We represent and support Labour Groups in England and Wales and the Labour councillors within them.

The LGA Conservative Group is the national voice for Conservative Local Government. We are here to support both Conservative council groups and Conservative councillors. Conservatives are leading the way in local government, embracing the new localist agenda, protecting frontline services and offering value for money.
