The WLGA’s Directorate is based in offices in Cardiff and Brussels.
The policy directorate’s core role is linked closely to the WLGA’s primary purposes; supporting and promoting member authorities’ interests; supporting and promoting better local government and its reputation; and supporting member authorities in the development of policies and priorities which will improve public services and democracy.
The WLGA’s policy team reflects the broad range of services and interests in local government, and draws extensively on the collective expertise and support of professional advisors within Wales’ local authorities.
