The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government has set up the Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) advisory group to support the delivery of the government’s reorganisation programme. All documents relating to the LGR advisory group can be found on this page.
The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government has set up the Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) advisory group to support the delivery of the government’s reorganisation programme.
The LGR advisory group brings together senior representatives and experts from across local government. It provides independent, evidence-based advice to:
- inform policy development
- guide implementation
- help manage risks
- offer constructive challenge to strengthen delivery
The LGR advisory group’s main focus is on local government reorganisation. However, it also considers related issues such as devolution, especially where both are happening at the same time.
The advisory group plays a key role by:
- recommending practical, evidence-based approaches to policy and delivery
- challenging plans and proposals to improve outcomes
- sharing learning and best practice from previous reorganisations
- identifying potential risks and suggesting ways to address them
- advising on how government can best support local authorities through change
The group’s advice helps ensure that local government reorganisation supports wider public service reform and delivers positive outcomes for communities.
