In this episode we look at whether we've really seen the worst of the cuts, if localism is always the best way, more about the Tower Hamlets shenanigans and we mention our new secret facebook page.

In this episode of the WLLG podcast we talk about some of the field trips we've undertaken recently, from localgovcamp to the Strategic Leaders Forum. We also take a detour to look at the forthcoming strike and what it might mean for those involved.

In this episode we focus on two things - the 2014 local elections (and ask how do Sunderland manage to count quite so quickly?!) and one of our journeys over to the private sector.

On this show we take a look at whether or not Brighton's plans to hold a council tax referendum are really all that bad, and debate whether Council's should act as modern day Arthur Daley's by curating and keeping hold of cultural objects rather than cashing in.

In this episode we return from the land of the forgotten to talk about some of the things which are on our minds in the world of local government. We are mixing things up a bit, so expect to hear about the Wolverhampton City financial problems, UKGovCamp 14 and the joys of iPad working.

In this episode we take a look at parking, how Slough are using spy planes and whether HR Policies really can be distilled into 140 characters

This time around we look at licensing laws, planning laws and common sense laws, before discussing the DCLG going over budget, Doncaster hitting more problems and the ten big ideas from the LGA conference.

This special episode comes from the 2013 LGA conference, and includes as many interviews as we could cram into one show.

This week we are joined by our very first guest, author of Hard Change Dawn Reeves, who chews the fat on her debut novel as well as some of the wider issues facing local government. We also give our first impressions of the Comprehensive Spending Review and find out why waiting till nightfall to check if a streetlight is working is not always the best idea.

In this show we look at why the grass may be longer as well as greener, whether local government gets a bad press in the arts and ask whether E-Pic will soon be leaving us.
