Over the last year, as the legislative agenda has been focused on delivering Britain’s exit from the EU for the UK, we have had to take a different approach to our campaigning on behalf of our councils.
This has included more work with MPs and peers directly and the many Select Committees which have considered issues relevant to local government.
We have also undertaken a considerable amount of work to ensure councils have a voice in the relevant discussions and negotiations to ensure both powers and funding are transferred from Europe to local areas to benefit residents.
Based on feedback from our member councils and agreed by our politicians, our priorities were:
- Britain’s exit from the EU
- Devolution and funding for local government
- Inclusive growth, jobs and housing
- Children, education and schools
- Adult social care and health
- Supporting councils
