Local Government Association
Councils are currently engaging with the Local Government Association's guidance on codes of conduct and implementing recommendations from its peer challenges.
Hillingdon Council defeated a motion in September 2026 to update its Code of Conduct for members, which Councillor Sital Punja proposed should align with the Local Government Association's model code. The motion, aiming to introduce clearer provisions on bullying, harassment, and social media conduct, was defeated by 30 votes to 19.
Meanwhile, Camden Council is implementing actions following a Corporate Peer Challenge conducted by the Local Government Association in November 2025. The challenge identified Camden as a well-run council and made 12 recommendations to enhance its services and strategic direction, which the council is now addressing.
No upcoming council meetings currently list the Local Government Association on their agenda. The Local Government Association is a national membership body representing local authorities in England and Wales, providing support and guidance to councils.
