About the Team
The Local Government and Reform team is responsible for managing HM Treasury’s interests in local government policy and funding. We work closely with colleagues in the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG), and other departments, to shape the government’s approach to local economic growth and local government.
This includes ensuring that councils have the resources they need to deliver key services and implement government priorities, including reform of adult and children’s social care. We also seek to ensure that financial powers and policy responsibilities are devolved to the most appropriate level of government.

The team is split into two units: English Devolution and Economic Clusters Unit and the Local Government Finance Unit.
