Our World is Local: Theresa Grant talks LGR and intervention

The formidable Theresa Grant shares unflinching insights into reorganisation, intervention and local government leadership.

The formidable Theresa Grant shares unflinching insights into reorganisation, intervention and local government leadership.

Grant, who has a 47-year career in councils, led the recovery and reorganisation of Northamptonshire CC after its collapse, before taking on the role of chief executive commissioner at Liverpool City Council.

Recently appointed as one of three government advisers working with councils going through reorganisation, she warns against glossy business cases and snake oil sales consultants.

She explains why transformation must go hand-in-hand with reorganisation, and how real leadership means taking accountability, not avoiding hard decisions.

A must-listen for anyone navigating the future of local government – packed with honesty, experience, and sharp lessons from one of the sector's most respected voices.
