We are The Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA); a politically led cross-party organisation that seeks to give local government a strong voice at a national level. We represent the interests of local government and promote local democracy in Wales.
The 22 councils in Wales are our members and the 3 fire and rescue authorities and 3 national park authorities are associate members.
Communities are at their best when they feel connected to their council through local democracy. By championing, facilitating, and achieving these connections, we can build a vibrant local democracy that allows communities to thrive.
Our ultimate goal is to promote, protect, support and develop democratic local government and the interests of councils in Wales.
Promoting the role and prominence of councillors and council leaders
Ensuring maximum local discretion in legislation or statutory guidance
Championing and securing long-term and sustainable funding for councils
Promoting sector-led improvement
Encouraging a vibrant local democracy, promoting greater diversity
Supporting councils to effectively manage their workforce
