Local Government Technical Advisors Group

The Local Government Technical Advisors Group is a professional association incorporated in 1995.  It was formed from the the Association of Metropolitan District Engineers (AMDE), the Association of London Borough Engineers and Surveyors (ALBES) and the Association of Chief Technical Officers (ACTO) in District Authorities in areas where local government responsibilities are divided between Counties and Districts.

It serves all levels of local government covering the whole range of local authority technical services.

TAG's main aim is to represent members' interests, by responding to European and Government initiatives and consultations, by promotoing initiatives aimed at influencing Government policy through the development of best practices.

TAG also provides coordinated and comprehensive advice and support to Technical Professionals employed by local authorities directly or indirectly to manage and advise on their services.
