About us

Local Council Consultancy (LCC) was launched in late 2018 by the Society of Local Council Clerks (SLCC) as an additional capability to the advisory and membership services. With the aim to be the first-choice provider for locum and consultancy services in the local council sector, LCC provide a value for money, sector specific consultancy and locum service.

Informing change, growth, and development:
