    Join us for an informative webinar on the Local Government Reorganisation. 

    The landscape of local government is changing. The English Devolution White Paper has laid plans for this change, with many small and medium-sized local authorities set to merge into larger unitary councils, presenting both opportunities and challenges. Our expert panel will explore the key aspects of these changes, what they mean for Local Taxation & Benefits Services, and the critical IT considerations for a smooth transition.

    Our agenda includes:

    • An overview of the English Devolution White Paper – What are the government’s goals, key policy points, and expected legislation and implementation timelines? 
    • Lessons from previous reorganisations – Clive Jones will share insights from managing Buckinghamshire’s transition, highlighting challenges, pitfalls, and best practices
    • The future of local government and IT systems – Nigel Blair will discuss how England’s local government map is evolving and the technical challenges of merging data and systems for better service delivery.
    • Live panel discussion and Q&A – Get your questions answered by our experts.

    Don’t miss this essential discussion on the future of English local government!

    • Mark Fearn, Customer Engagement Lead (Revenues, Income Recovery & Debt), Walsall Council
    • Clive Jones, Head of Revenues, Benefits & Assessments, Buckinghamshire Council
