Tracking your preventative spend: a step-by-step guide by LGiU

The LGiU has launched a report, in partnership with the Electrical Safety Council, called "House Proud: How councils can raise standards in the private rented sector". The report looks at how local authorities are engaging with the private rented sector, an increasingly important part of the housing market in England and Wales, and how they can work to improve standards in the sector. In this short podcast we hear from Phil Buckle, Director General of the Electrical Safety Council, and Lauren Lucas, Policy Manager at the LGiU, on the report's key findings, the role of councils, and the report's key recommendations.

LGiU's collection of essays, “Connected Localism”, looks at how a localised, yet connected approach to public service innovation can help us to meet complex social and political challenges. The collection features contributions from Patrick Diamond, Anthony Zacharzewski, Sophia Parker and Richard V.Reeves, with an introduction from LGiU Chief Executive Jonathan Carr-West. In this short podcast, Jonathan talks about some of the key themes explored in the collection. For more information, please go to http://www.lgiu.org.uk/connected-localism/ 590127…
