The Local Government Chronicle (LGC) is a British weekly magazine for local government officers, and is published by Metropolis. The magazine was launched in 1855 by bookseller and publisher Charles Knight. It was then published by Emap,[1] now Metropolis. It is politically independent.
Coverage
[edit | edit source]Subjects LGC covers include finance, law, management, housing, planning, regeneration, the environment, education, big society, local elections, the third sector and social services. Sarah Calkin is its editor. It features contributions from analysts including Tony Travers from the London School of Economics, a weekly anonymous columnist ("LGC Insider") and various governmental figures.
Elections
[edit | edit source]It provides comprehensive local election coverage each year, in the form of rolling online results, expert analysis from Professors Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher from Plymouth University, political reaction, and a council control map.
Events
