Local Partnerships is an in-house public sector delivery partner, jointly owned by the Local Government Association, HM Treasury and the Welsh Government. We work exclusively with local authorities, combined authorities, and central and devolved government to deliver better outcomes for communities.
Local government is undergoing significant change from reorganisation and devolution, to evolving expectations from residents and increasing financial pressures. We work alongside councils to respond to these challenges, helping translate national priorities into practical, locally deliverable solutions.
As a trusted interface between local and central government, we combine policy insight, technical expertise and delivery capability. We support councils to take a more joined-up, place-based approach to service delivery, while strengthening financial sustainability, governance, and decision-making.
Our work with councils spans some of the most pressing issues facing the sector, including: - Local Government Reorganisation and devolution - financial sustainability, value for money, and resilience - major infrastructure and place-based regeneration - housing delivery and financial resilience - waste and energy transition - financial governance, risk management, and commercial capability
Our approach is delivery focused and combines strategic advice with hands on support to open up capacity and capability for councils.
