LCR Magazine Autumn 2014 is out today

LCR is NALC’s high-quality, glossy quarterly publication with in-depth articles and features offering you advice and good practice, along with regular spotlights on parish and town councils and top tips information.

The top tips information will help assist you with the real issues affecting local councils and communities.

The LCR website, LCR Online, will bring you important news, features and events ensuring you are kept informed about all the major issues affecting local communities via parish, town and community councils. To encourage debate and feedback on all things to do with local government, the website also features blogs and Twitter pages.

In the Autumn issue we have features on:

Exclusive from the department of Communities and Local Government minister, Kris Hopkins MP, on openness and transparency

•     How parish and town councils can help with flood protection

•     How to protect your community space

•     100 different communities looking at creating new parish and town councils

•     Parish and town councils joining forces in clusters for community service delivery

Jonathan Owen, NALC’s chief executive, says: “LCR continues to be at the heart of NALC’s information services. It provides local councils and communities a view on how to commit to citizen-led action, which protects local assets and services and delivers responsive services based on local priorities.
