DCN invited Inner Circle Consulting to produce a paper setting out how places might best respond to the
challenges and opportunities of local government reorganisation.

“The greatest risk is losing momentum and settling for change that isn’t change. Instead, LGR must focus on a meaningful renewal and reform – driving economic growth, improving public well-being, and restoring faith in the local state,” the report says.

“Now is the time for optimism and action. By prioritising sustainable reform over short-term fixes, LGR can reshape local government into a dynamic, effective force that truly serves the people and places it is here to serve.”
