The Local Government Association has organised an event specifically aimed at councillors to help them understand more about local government finance. In particular it looks at:
-
how local government finance is allocated to councils
-
roles and responsibilities, including the role of elected members
-
current issues in local government finance
-
how local government finance should be reformed
It is being held on 10th September at Local Government House in Smith Square in Westminster. It is £150 for councillors from authorities who are LGA members. More details are available here.
