About research and campaigns

APSE carries out independent research for other organisations as well as researching and writing publications for use by local authorities.

APSE also campaigns on behalf of its membership to highlight issues of concern within local government and has an effective research and lobbying role when key consultations are launched. This includes responding to initiatives and consultations within England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. For information on APSE in your local authority area please click here

APSE's latest campaign is Local Services: Local Solutions.

We have produced our opening pamphlet on 'What's the * * * * * * * council ever done for me?' which you can download by clicking here.

APSE will be producing a range of publications over the next twelve months to support this campaign but we also want to hear from you our member authorities and all involved in local government service delivery about your views on APSE's campaigning role. Email your views to APSE on enquiries@apse.org.uk

APSE also produces a range of publications which can be ordered directly from APSE
