About East of England LGA

The East of England LGA is a voluntary association set up by the 52 local authorities in the East of England. We are a cross-party organisation, funded by subscriptions from our member authorities and income generating services, to work on behalf of them all.

The Association harnesses the collective strength of local government to shape and serve their communities and localities.

We are committed to helping ensure that councils in the East of England have:

• fair public funding and the freedom and powers to deliver on their local priorities
• the opportunity to work together to ensure that they are better-placed to take strategic decisions, learn from each other and lobby for investment from public, private and European sources to bring about the best possible services for their communities 
• the capacity to deliver quality and cost-effective services to make life better for local residents

We therefore strive to:

• be an influential advocate nationally and in Europe. We promote councils' leadership of local communities, their services and argue for the tools that they require to do their job
• be a catalyst for effective sharing between councils - of practice, knowledge, people, information and services
• work with council to develop capacity and capability in key areas to enable them to meet emerging challenges
