In the last two decades, there have been numerous attempts to reconcile public service delivery locally with the needs of citizens. However, this has not always been achieved. The landscape of public service delivery remains complex, coordinated through a mixture of public, private, and voluntary organisations.

In the same time frame, the local (parish and town) council sector has grown, with around 300 new local councils. Local councils are integral to vibrant and thriving communities with a wide range of powers but limited duties. Increasingly principal authorities are devolving services to local councils, but harnessing this potential is difficult due to financial, logistical, and power barriers.

Join us to learn more about how local councils can overcome these obstacles, engage in meaningful community outreach, and improve local service delivery.

Speakers: Cllr Stuart Dunn, chair of Coxhoe Parish Council, Cllr Jim McKenna, Cornwall Council and Heather Wills, principal adviser (improvement) at the Local Government Association
