Total Place
15 Sep 2009
Focusing funding on places – not institutions. Held at Cavendish Conference Centre
Public services must accelerate how well they are working together. Public spending melt down and increased expectations from citizens are combining to change the way public services are delivered. This change must happen at a local level. This conference, in partnership with The MJ, brought together the senior managers from across local areas that are tasked with making this happen.
