As part of our Make It Local campaign we are working with the sector to develop a white paper from local government for local government and communities.
Underpinned by our Make It Local campaign, we’re working on a Local Government White Paper to be published before the next election.
A white paper from local government for local government and communities.
We have the ambition to develop a plan for the first King’s Speech after the general election to secure a national-local partnership, a new local deal, in which local government can work to its full potential for our people, our places and our planet.
We will present a clear vision for the future of local government, based on priorities from the public, councils and local communities.
Next steps
White Paper round tables
To collect the thoughts and feedback from leaders and councils to feed into the paper, we're currently hosting a series of round table discussions and meetings being held across England.
The feedback and input collected will go into work to shape the final paper.
Specialist research
We are currently commissioning a specialist piece of research to challenge how we think about the sector’s future.
The submitted evidence from councils, consultation survey data and commissioned research will all help create a strong case and proposal to whoever forms the next government.
