Session

After facing significant financial challenges earlier this year, a principal authority turned to its parish and town council for support, leading to a groundbreaking partnership. Yeovil Town Council didn’t just fill in the gaps. It took on an ambitious portfolio, now managing a country park, a theatre, and a leisure centre, all critical assets for the community. Join this session to hear the inside story of how and why this council took bold action, ensured seamless service continuity, and tackled the obstacles along the way. Discover practical tips, strategies, and insights for handling similar situations, empowering your council to step up when your community needs it most confidently.
