Local Government Reorganisation: Data strategy and support for councils
As local authorities navigate the complex landscape of Local Government Reorganisation (LGR), the role of data has never been more critical.
Putting data first during LGR reduces risk and enables better service design. Clear governance and retention decisions protect residents’ information, while better insight helps leaders allocate resources where they make the greatest difference.
Have you thought about:
What data you need to keep and what you no longer need?
What information will support the decisions you’re making now, and what you’ll need later?
How to turn your data into a strategic asset rather than a burden?
At Local Partnerships, we work alongside councils across the country as a trusted strategic partner, helping them approach LGR with clarity and confidence.
We understand that LGR involves difficult decisions. Acting as a critical friend, we can help you:
Audit and understand your data
Identify opportunities to streamline and simplify
Develop a data strategy that supports long-term transformation
Build internal confidence and capacity to manage change
We’re already supporting other councils through their LGR journeys, helping them navigate the challenges while keeping their focus on the future. If you’re preparing for LGR, or already underway, and want practical support with data, please get in touch.
