About this event
The Government has signaled that there will be significant change to the Better Local Services Legislation when the Bill is reported back on 16 June.
This is expected to include the complete removal of powers to widen the scope of mandatory performance reporting, and the weakening of the Local Government Commission’s powers to ‘direct’ service amalgamation.
But we understand there’s a host of other changes to the ‘headline’ policy and the technical content of the Bill.
If you want to understand what’s changed and why, and just as importantly, what happens next then this webinar will provide you with all you need to know.
