The County Councils Network Annual Conference is the Network’s flagship in-person gathering, which brings together senior officers, council leaders and councillors from across England’s county and unitary authorities to discuss the key issues that are shaping the future of local government.
Our colleagues, Jenny McArdle, Bernie Lally, Laura Power-Wharton and Eden Northcott will all be at the three day event.
And Bernie and Eden will be hosting a workshop session too:
Turning idle council assets into services, opportunities and savings
16th November, 2.00 – 3.00pm. Lakeside room
Every council has a building that costs money and delivers nothing. With social care reform on the national agenda, if capital materialises, councils with projects ready to go will be best placed to secure funds.
In this interactive workshop at CCN annual conference, together we’ll consider your councils assets and work through three key questions:
1) how much is it costing? 2) what purpose is it serving? 3) could it earn money?
The session draws on two recent case studies at Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire Councils that increase capacity and revenue.
Come to the session with an underutilised building from your own estate in mind and work through it with peers. You’ll leave with practical next steps and we’ll share with attendees a write-up of opportunities identified on the day.
Come and join us for the session, or pop by the 31ten stand to say hello.
