Your key contacts for support at the LGA. To help us respond effectively, please consult councillor resources and the new councillor FAQs before getting in touch.
LGA regional principal advisors
Your regional principal advisor and the LGA regional teams are non-political officers who can provide you with expert advice and offer a gateway to all our other support. Their regional perspective and significant expertise enables them to identify councils’ needs, provide advice, and connect councils with our comprehensive support offer.
Please reach out to your regional principal advisor to discuss your support needs.
Reform UK regional lead peer
Your Reform UK regional lead peer is your key contact for regional political support at the LGA. They are all experienced Reform UK councillors who can advise you, deliver training and help share best practice and innovation.
The regional lead peers in each area are:
- East of England: Cllr Tony Cox ([email protected])
- East Midlands: Cllr Natalie Oliver ([email protected])
- North East: Cllr Stephen Gray ([email protected])
- North West: Cllr Dave Dwyer ([email protected])
- South East: Cllr Diane Morton ([email protected])
- West Midlands: Cllr John Lawson ([email protected])
Reform UK political office
The Reform UK Political Group Office (PGO) at the LGA is here to advise and support council leaders, group leaders and other office holders in councils. It coordinates support from regional lead peers and LGA officers and leads on our policy committee work which seeks to influence Government. Due to the growing number of Reform UK councillors, we are unfortunately unable to provide tailored political support in all circumstances on an individual basis.
If you are a council leader or leader of the opposition and need bespoke political advice from the PGO, please email us at [email protected].
Please bear with us over the coming weeks as we manage a particularly busy post-election period. Following Reform UK’s significant electoral success, our new and growing office will be prioritising support for new council leaders, group leaders and administrations across the country.
