The Local Government Delivery Council (LGDC) drives forward local service transformation. It is part of local government’s commitment to delivering services that meet the needs and expectations of citizens and businesses.
The LGDC provides a forum where national activity around transformation can be brought together, monitored and developed. The council was established in 2007 under the auspices of the Local Government Association (LGA). It held its first meeting in September 2007 and now meets quarterly.
