Tales of the undejected

摘要

Devolution: that's the question a group of council leaders and chief executives will be working on at Cumberland Lodge in Windsor Great Park at the end of this month. It's the fourth in a series of events organised by the Local Government Association (LGA) to take forward Rewiring Public Services, its campaign for a new ball game - a radical transformation of the way local government operates and its relationship with Westminster and Whitehall. In total, some 60 of the best political and managerial minds in local government will have explored tough questions about coping with extreme financial pressure, making the case for independent local government and -toughest of all - how the sector itself must change to make rewiring credible. These four events will also help lay the foundation for core messages at the LGA Annual Conference at Bournemouth this July.
