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.
