Session
With a fresh devolution bill on the horizon, as announced in the King's Speech, significant changes could be coming for parish and town councils. But what exactly does the government envision for English devolution? Will this time finally see genuine onward devolution, reaching rural and parished areas through double devolution? Join us for an exclusive session with the new minister leading this policy area, who will share insights on the government's plans and what they mean for parish and town councils. Take advantage of this opportunity to hear firsthand about the future of devolution and how it could empower local communities like never before.
