Devolved and local government

Helping communities and local economies to flourish

Shaping the future of people and places

Local government plays a crucial role in our lives. Delivering vital services. Devising fresh approaches to deep-seated problems. Addressing new challenges. Integrating social care and health services. Ensuring policies and decision-making achieve the best outcomes. Anticipating future needs. Making local areas better places to be.

We work closely with local government organisations to help them gain insight and make choices about how best to plan for the future, improve public services and deliver better outcomes.
