What we do
Communities should be able to influence and protect their own future. Communities and Local Government has a vision of confident, vibrant, sustainable communities where everyone has a say in shaping their environment.
We aim to deliver this by:
- working to offer more choice and better quality in public services
- addressing the issues of climate change
- building cohesion
- tackling anti-social behaviour and extremism
For this to work, we need to encourage local authorities and their partners to work closely with their communities to help create an environment everyone can be proud of. We will do this by:
- making sure there is a clear set of opportunities for local and regional partners to promote innovation, build on skills and tackle poor performance
- securing better value for money through smarter investment, simpler delivery chains and high-quality partnerships
- concentrating resources where they are needed most
Communities and Local Government has an extensive remit that is delivered mainly by seven policy areas. Click on the links below to get an overview of each area.
