What do you know about the “deals” central government have agreed with local authorities? What lessons have been learned, and could a “deal” be right for you?
Over the past eight years central government has used the concept of “deals” as a way of engaging with local government. Implied in this approach is the idea that national support and resources are being provided in return for local authorities and their partners accelerating delivery of development and change. The lessons are therefore relevant to a wide range of authorities.
What is happening in this arena is a useful guide to central government’s thinking and expectations relating to growth, housing as well as the integration of locally and nationally managed services, whether or not your authority is actively pursuing a “deal”.
Deal or no Deal?
Join us at stand C9 on Wednesday 4 July at 1.20 pm for a 15 minute insight session where Strategic Director, Simon Bandy, will use his experience in this area to draw out the lessons that can help your authority better investigate the possibilities for developing a deal. He will cover the expectations and opportunities relating to housing and infrastructure planning, funding and governance, as well as how the economic impact of investment will be measured. Simon will highlight examples from our work across the country, sharing and signposting to examples that we hope will prove useful to you and your own organisations.
