Our communities are the bedrock of society, and Welsh Councils give these communities a democratic voice, shaping the aspirations of the people of Wales.
In the next Senedd term, the WLGA will offer a new and unprecedented partnership to the next Welsh Government.
By working together as equals, we can seize the opportunities to renew our democracy, strengthen our public services and create resilient communities.
As they develop their manifestos, we call on the Welsh political parties to endorse our strategic themes for Local Government:
THEME 1 Long-term Funding: Tackling Pressures and Planning for the Future
THEME 2 Local by Default, Regional by Agreement
THEME 3 Working Together for Wales: Equal Partners
THEME 4 Prevention and Resilience
THEME 5 Digital Wales: Empowering Every Community
THEME 6 Urban Renewal and Rural Resilience
