Nodus provides the Local Associations Information Service (LAIS) which focuses on on issues of strategic importance to local councils.  It is deliberately called LAIS (pronounced ‘laze’) as it provides Local Associations with an easy way to become informed on key issues and to provide local councils with information without having to research and design material themselves.

Nodus knows the frustration felt by local councils when they receive hefty, technical, wordy documents about national initiatives and consultations. The relevance of the document is not always clear and it can be very time-consuming to read and digest the contents, particularly when there is a tight deadline. The consequence is that opportunities to influence policy or understand the impact on local councils are lost.
