The Truth about Local Government is a platform committed to providing a free resource to the local authority sector, seeking to provide solutions to the problems the sector is facing. Our purpose is to widen the echo chamber, where local government innovation and solution orientated action can be shared, perpetuated and help councils deliver services that support the communities they serve.

Through collaboration and innovation, we will find the solutions we need as a local government sector to tackle the challenges ahead.
