Welcome to Local Authority Publishing. We specialise in advertising-funded publishing, both electronically and in print, for and on behalf of local authorities of any size, throughout the United Kingdom. We have published many hundreds of publications for over two hundred local authorities.

Local Authority Publishing produces a wide range of publications including guides, street plans, business directories, wall maps, planning handbooks, building control handbooks, leisure guides, service information guides, and other media.

We are proud of the service we offer and the exceptionally high standards that we demand both of ourselves, and the suppliers that work alongside us. As you will see, it seems that our local authority clients agree!

The material on this site will provide you with some background to the company, and a simple explanation of exactly what we do and how we work with our clients and suppliers. We hope you find it useful, and look forward to hearing from you.

LATEST! We have now launched over 190 online versions of Official Local Authority Publications at officialguides.co.uk in addition to the many hundreds published in print.
