SUMMARY:Fighting for the Future of Local Government in an uncertain world
DESCRIPTION:Free for LGcomms members (please log in to book) \nIn an uncertain world\, the Government has been understandably distracted by changing geopolitics\, climate change and the ongoing war in Ukraine. \nMeanwhile\, it has a domestic agenda to fulfil in an increasingly polarised political landscape and growing pressures on the public purse. \nHow do we ensure the local state’s case is heard over the ‘noise’ of these massive issues? How do we make ourselves relevant to Government agendas\, and how do we fight for the future of town and city halls at a time of extreme national challenge? \nThis session will explore how we can continue to argue the case for the local in the context of poly-crisis and fast-moving technological change. \nHow do we continue to convince national decision-makers that the future is local? \n  \nSubjects to touch on: \n\nGetting your message across to the right audiences\nSpending Review and Beyond\nRelationships with MPs and ministers\nProving the value of the local state through a strong evidence base\nThe English Devolution Bill\nPublic service reform\n\nOur panellists: \nAnna Wrigglesworth https://www.linkedin.com/in/awrigglesworth/ \nJoe Derrett https://www.linkedin.com/in/joe-derrett-a8340b5/ \nChaired by Harriet Shone https://www.linkedin.com/in/harriet-shone-09b8ba44/ \nBOOK HERE
