Design and development services for councils using the LocalGov Drupal platform
A blue cube block

LocalGov Drupal (LGD) is the CMS of choice for 50+ councils across the UK and Ireland. It’s a platform created by councils, for councils — and several of those have placed their trust in Annertech to deliver their projects. We’ve partnered with councils including Essex County Council, London Borough of Haringey, Tipperary County Council and Carlow County Council, helping them transform their websites into scalable, accessible platforms that put residents first.
