100 More Innovations In Power.pdf

The Labour Group of the Local Government Association has published '100 More Innovations', a booklet showcasing 100 practical examples of how Labour councils have used creativity and experience to find new ways to defend their communities. Despite facing austerity and interference from Whitehall, Labour councils have demonstrated determination and imagination to generate radical policy ideas and find modern solutions to old problems. The booklet highlights innovations in areas such as securing the best start in life for children and young people, delivering high-quality social care, improving health and wellbeing, and tackling the housing crisis. A website, www.lgalabourinnovations.com, has been set up to share all the innovations and achievements, allowing Labour MPs, Peers, councillors, and activists to access and share them. The Leader of the Labour Group, Nick Forbes, believes that Labour councils don't just talk about a better future, but also deliver it, and that truly empowered and independent local government offers a meaningful path to return power and control to every community in the country.
