GDS Local shares the latest developments on how the initiative is supporting digital transformation in councils.
GDS Local is a new unit within the Government Digital Service (GDS) that brings central and local government together to improve how digital public services are designed and delivered. Working alongside councils, we’re helping create services shaped around real lives—easier to use, better connected and built on proven digital foundations.
If you’re interested in joining us, check out all open opportunities on the GDS careers site.
