Welcome to Comms Hub – our online resource to help you to develop and deliver more effective communications
It has never been more important for councils to communicate effectively with residents, media, partners and employees.
Whether it’s to encourage greater self-service or to promote understanding of local priorities, effective communication has the power to engage communities, challenge misconception and help your council achieve its objectives.
Here you’ll find advice and guidance on communicating some key issues facing local government and examples of best practice from across our members.
New challenges, new conversations
COVID-19 has changed how we live, work and communicate with each other. During the COVID-19 crisis, local authorities rose to the challenge and engaged with their communities at an unprecedented level and pace.
COVID-19 communications
Effective communications and engagement is key to supporting and protecting residents, adjusting to new ways of living and working, rebuilding economies and managing local outbreaks.
The LGA will be drafting a new communications strategy in the Autumn of 2022 to ensure alignment with the organisation’s business plan which is being developed over the Summer.
