Description
The Local Authority is a podcast by Local Government Chronicle.
Each month, the podcast will ask fundamental questions about how local government needs to adapt to fulfil its full potential and best serve local populations.
It will see LGC assemble a small panel of significant figures from the sector to discuss one specific issue per episode.
All will have a focus on the future, with the emphasis being on innovation, fairness, policy change and place leadership.
Between launch in May 2021 and June 2023 the podcast was sponsored by TPXImpact.
