About us
Who we are
New Local (formerly New Local Government Network) is a think tank and network working to energise local government, improve public services and empower communities. We publish research on some of today’s most pressing issues - like housing, welfare and economic equality - informed by our network of 60-plus local authorities.
At the heart of our work is ‘community power’ - the belief that people should be given the means to transform the places they live and the services they use. We believe this is key to reducing the burden on our public services, and to creating a better society for all.
