What’s new at LGIU – the Local Government Information Unit. We are a non-partisan, non-profit organisation for local government and anyone interested in local democracy.

This week, the big story at LGIU is the launch of the State of Local Government Finance in England survey. The man behind it this year, Dr Greg Stride from the LGIU's Local Democracy Research Centre, joins the podcast to share more about the survey aims and his predictions for what the results might reveal.

If you're an LGIU member, you can ask Greg your own questions at our upcoming member-exclusive Ask the Expert event.

We also spotlight three great stories from the world of local government this week and some of the exciting topics and events coming up at LGIU!
