Welcome to the first issue of LGM online – ILM’s new monthly e-magazine especially for members of the Faculty of Local Government Managers. It’s full of topical news and features specially selected for you – but now, instead of quarterly, you’ll receive it every month, so you can keep up-to-date with all the latest developments in local government.
This issue, we look at the government’s attempts to crack down on low-performing schools and their impact on local authorities and find out why Manchester City Council’s costly consultation exercise got such a poor response. Plus, read the latest news from the world of local government in our dedicated News area.
Remember, LGM online is exclusively for members of ILM’s Faculty of Local Government Managers, so have your username and password handy.
