Twitter: #budgeting11 The Progress Report Since its inception, much has been speculated about the true value and future of community budgeting. This unique conference provides the opportunity to hear a progress report from many of the 16 pilot areas. As Government sets about rolling community budgets across the country, this conference provides a perfect opportunity for future stakeholders to learn from those already well into the implementation. Why you must view this event: * Get an honest account from many of the 16 pilot areas on what works and what doesn't; * Hear from the Leader of Kent County Council, a community budget pilot area on how to successfully implement the pooled budget approach; * Assess the savings made by Blackpool Borough Council through their integrated service approach.
