The challenge

Local government is undergoing the greatest structural reorganisation programme in a generation. If done well, the prize is a legacy of improved outcomes, resilience and sustainability in local services for people and places. The timeline for councils to propose new structures and ways of working is fast moving. Councils need capacity and specialist support now to develop bold, evidence-based and shared solutions for their residents that meet the brief set by central government.
