Local Authorities

Local authorities are Groundwork’s most important group of partners. We work closely with many local authorities across the West Midlands to help them shape their places and improve local quality of life.

We can work with you to develop bespoke projects that deliver for local people and for your targets. Our projects range from relatively straightforward contract work, to entrepreneurial, experimental, risk taking projects that are innovative and creative and that solve problems.

We work closely with local authorities, many of which sit on our Board, Sub-Regional Committees or Borough Steering Groups. We also sit on a number of LSPs and other local groups and bodies. This gives us a shared understanding of the local area and local priorities, which gives us a head start in creating initiatives that will really work on the ground.
