NALC study tour sells out in record time
We are pleased to announce that our study tour to Oswestry Town Council has sold out in record time. Taking place on 18 and 19 May 2027, the tour will offer delegates an in-depth look at the work of NALC's Star Council Awards 2025/26 Council of the Year.
Attendees will have the opportunity to explore the council's award-winning markets and discover how they support both the local economy and the council's corporate priorities. They will also learn about the ambitious restoration of Llwyd Mansion, the town's only Grade I listed building and one of the area's most significant regeneration projects.
The programme includes visits to The Centre, Oswestry's youth-focused community hub, as well as insights into the council's wide-ranging services and infrastructure, including its public toilets, car parks and depot operations.
Delegates will also hear how the council works in partnership with organisations including the TNS Foundation, Oswestry BID and Oswestry Borderland Tourism to strengthen the local community. The tour will showcase the impact of the High Street Heritage Action Zone and Empty Property Grant Scheme, with opportunities to hear directly from businesses that have benefited from these initiatives.
The exceptional demand for the study tour reflects the sector's strong interest in learning from Oswestry Town Council's achievements and sharing best practice across the local council sector. For those unable to secure a place, we encourage you to look out for future NALC events and resources designed to support and inspire parish and town councils.
