Local Solutions

Councils face changes at every turn. New powers and functions. New ways of providing services. New structures and ways of working. New requirements for consultation and liaison with stakeholders. And ever increasing demands from the public and the media for clearer and better information. Partnership is the watchword of the hour.

How do you build partnerships? How do you inform and make choices? How do you involve all those in your community who feel they should have a voice? How do you manage this without raising unrealistic expectations?

Communicating has to be a two-way process. You need to assess and assimilate, digest and understand massive amounts of information. You need to find out what people think, what they want. And you need to be able to explain your decisions to them effectively. They will want to know the options, costs and choices. They will need to be helped to understand often controversial decisions. And sometimes, you will need to communicate to resolve crises.

Local Solutions helps you when communication is not an optional extra. Local Solutions helps you to build alliances and partnerships. We work with you to identify priorities and concerns, develop strategies. Helping you to make the case. We are your eyes and ears, auditing information, sensing and measuring trends, drawing conclusions and making the links that others miss.

Local Solutions is built on solid local experience. With a central office and unique network of locally based consultants, we offer a genuinely integrated national and local service. Our team has wide experience of working with councils around the country to identify and deliver strategic objectives - and communicate them effectively to all relevant audiences. But we offer more than just support.

The tangible and consistent results we achieve spring from our passion and commitment to our clients.
