Welcome to Local Directgov

The Local Directgov (LDG) application makes it easy for people to access services and information provided by their local council from public services websites such as Directgov and Business Link.

This website provides information on how the LDG application is used to provide links to specific services provided by local councils and also support for local authority staff who need to use the LDG application to manage their links on Local Directgov.
