Outside body

London Councils makes the case to government, the Mayor and others to get the best deal for Londoners and to ensure that its member authorities have the resources, freedoms and powers to do the best possible job for their residents and local businesses.

London Councils runs a number of direct services for member authorities including the Freedom Pass, Taxicard and Health Emergency Badge.  It also runs an independent parking appeals service, a pan-London grants programme for voluntary organisations and co-ordinates the London Collective Investment Vehicle for the Local Government Pension Scheme on behalf of member authorities.

London Councils acts as a catalyst for effective sharing among boroughs – be that ideas, good practice, people, resources, or policies and new approaches.
