👋 We are the national voice of local government. We work with councils to support, promote and improve #LocalGov
- Our thoughts are with the 100,000 sons sisters nieces uncles fathers friends aunties cousins mothers brothers nephews daughters colleagues neighbours #StayHome
- We're heartbroken to hear that some of our #LocalGov colleagues have been abused while working to keep communities running. This is unacceptable. They're our people and they are working tirelessly to get us all through💙 A #ThankYouLocalGov thread 👇

- Dear #LocalGov colleagues and friends, It's been a challenging week to say the least. For many of you it's not over yet. But we wanted to take the opportunity to say THANK YOU for all your hard and dedicated work. You make an invaluable difference. #CouncilsCan 💫

- #EasterWeekend is here, but not everyone is taking time off. Help us send thanks to our #LocalGov colleagues still working on the #coronavirus frontline, keeping communities running and residents safe, up and down the country. #CouncilsCan | #ThankYouLocalGov 💜 #ThankHoliday
- The scale of the financial pressures #LocalGov is facing cannot be met by reducing costs, making efficiencies or raising council tax. Without action from the Government, councils will have no choice but to cut the services we all rely on. #SaveLocalServices – a thread 👇
- Our parks have been lifelines during the pandemic, essential to our wellbeing. We’re calling on Govt to ensure parks are included in the new Levelling Up & UK Shared Prosperity Funds, so councils can invest in new park facilities, pitches & green spaces. local.gov.uk/lga-covid-19-h…
00:00 - Councils are doing everything they can to help their communities through the #coronavirus outbreak but they are being stretched to the maximum. We're calling on Govt to provide a cast-iron public commitment to provide additional funding 👉 local.gov.uk/coronavirus-pu…
