The LGiU is celebrating its thirty year anniversary this year.
We thought one great way of marking this would be an online exhibition of thirty photographs of local government. We wanted to capture the essence of local government – including its past, present and even future. You can view the full gallery here.
Please see below our top 5 photos from the exhibition. With many thanks to all those who contributed.
