After an inspiring week with councillors and officials across local government I want to thank everyone at @LGAcomms #LGAConf24 We are at our best when we work as partners in power, and we are committed to resetting the relationship with central government.

"It's time for a new, equal & respectful partnership between local & central government,” says LGA Chair Louise Gittins. Last week #LGAConf24 played host to the inaugural Leaders’ Council. It will help ensure #LocalGov can deliver on issues that matter most to local communities.

I couldn’t have put it better myself. What an invigorating three days in Harrogate! Thank you to our member councils, partners, stakeholders, exhibitors, and everyone else. I hope to see so many of you again next year in Liverpool.
