The Local Government Act has given local councils and elected Members a critical power to promote the economic, social and environmental well being of their local communities. The Leadership Academy will train Members to respond to this challenge. Hilary Armstrong MP, Minister for Local Government and the Regions launched the Academy on 9th February 2000. The University of Warwick Business School and Office of Public Management work with the IDeA to deliver the Leadership Academy. BT is a sponsor of the Academy.
