The Local Government Technical Advisers Group

Strategic Partner

The Local Government Technical Advisers Group (LGTAG) is a professional association supporting technical services officers in Regional, County, Unitary (including London and Metropolitan Boroughs) and District Councils, Technical Officers either working for the public sector directly or for people in the private sector providing such services to Local Authorities.

Its purposes are to:

• ensure that best practice is shared;
• give impartial and apolitical advice to National and Local Politicians on what works;
• allow a ready sharing of technical advice.

Representing technical officers in Authorities around the Country, three key reasons to be part of the LGTAG organisation are that:

• It can take a strategic view of services not bound by detailed local issues or politics.
• It can give a voice to our professionals across all technical disciplines that may otherwise not be given or heard.
• It can also support the work of individual authorities by allowing sharing of information avoiding the need to ‘re-invent the wheel’ in all 400 plus councils.
