Welcome to the July issue of LGM online – ILM’s 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 month, LGM looks into Gordon Brown's newly announced public service entitlements and recaps what party leaders had to say at the LGA conference. Plus, read the latest news from the world of local government in our dedicated news area.
