Meeting the Funding Challenge in Local Government
Strategies for cost-effective service delivery
Tuesday 16th March 2010, Copthorne Tara Hotel, London Kensington.
The tightening fiscal position in the UK is putting – and will continue to put - pressure on the spending plans of local councils. The Total Place Initiative is expected to play an important role in shaping the future agenda on how local government can meet this pressure by managing its limited resources to deliver better services more efficiently. The initiative also enjoys the political support of the UK’s major parties and its impact will be felt regardless of who forms the next government.
Tom Shakespeare, Director of Policy and Research, Localis is speaking at the Meeting the Funding Challenge in Local Government - Strategies for cost-effective service delivery conference. His presentation will be about ‘Local authority efficiency under a Conservative government’.
