Meeting the Funding Challenge in Local Government
Strategies for cost-effective service delivery
Tuesday 16th March 2010, Copthorne Tara Hotel, London Kensington.

An ever-tightening fiscal position is putting increasing strain on the spending plans of local councils, bringing real pressure on delivery. Meanwhile, the expectations for innovation and efficiency remain as loud as ever.

· How can local authorities square this circle?
· What lessons can councils learn from each other to meet the need to achieve more with less?
· How will Total Place shape the agenda?

John Carleton, newly-appointed Chief Executive at Local Partnerships will discuss the challenges faced by local councils and will outline what they can achieve by leveraging partnerships that allow greater focus on frontline services.

Following his address delegates to Meeting the Funding Challenge in Local Government - Strategies for cost-effective service delivery will hear presentations from eight of local authorities around the country that are already well advanced in redesigning their strategy and delivery models, and then extrapolating lessons from their experiences that might help others. These will include presentations on the Total Place pilot project.
