It’s a deeply challenging time for local government – no-one doubts that. But for those with vision it’s also a time of new ideas and radical change.
This is when being part of a network of like-minded organisations and individuals can be invaluable. A group of peers who can give you advice based on their experience when you face a problem and are there when you need to trial an idea or test an insight.
