Navigating your way ahead to optimise services through LGR
For senior leaders, Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) compounds the ongoing challenges presented by political instability and financial pressure.
We’ve already supported new unitaries like North Yorkshire Council prepare for reorganisation and transform their inherited services from leisure to active wellbeing.
SLC is supporting the sector through LGR with insight, thought leadership and practical guidance, including our latest articles on active wellbeing and system transformation.
Our work highlights a clear message: start early, stay focused and plan with intent.
But there’s no point in everyone trying to muddle through it alone – you’ll find there’s real value in staying connected and learning from others.
Through our deep connections to local government, we bring leaders together to share learning, test ideas and develop practical solutions — from governance and contracts to integration and future vision.
SLC launched a dedicated LGR peer support network and themed networking events in 2026. To join us and find out more, click here.
