Local Authority: What do local election results mean for public services?
About this episode
This episode discusses the implications of recent local election results on public services with a panel of experts.
Last month’s local elections brought a wider spectrum of politicians than ever into local power. As the dust settles and new administrations take office, this episode of the Local Authority, recorded before a live audience at New Local’s Stronger Things conference, examines what comes next for public services. Joining acting LGC editor Martin George are John Denham, former communities secretary and director of the Centre for English Identity and Politics at Southampton University, Grace Pollard, head of policy and insights at New Local, and Wietse Van Ransbeeck, CEO and co-founder of Go Vocal.
