The Local Government Association (LGA) has awarded a total of £390,000 to 27 councils in order to help them develop their use of technology.

This is part of the LGA’s Digital Experts programme, where the councils will learn from digital tools and approaches that have already been implemented successfully elsewhere.

Programmes include reducing digital exclusion, harnessing social media, enabling remote working for staff, and working more effectively with partners and community groups.
