LGA annual conference 2007 ‘People and Places’ – Birmingham, 3-5 July 2007 03-07-2007 Introduction ‘Closer to People and Places’ is the new vision for local government in the
United Kingdom. The annual conference of the Local Government Association (LGA)
builds on the LGA’s campaign to devolve to local government and thereby empower
local people. It will mark 10 years of the LGA working on behalf of local
authorities in England and Wales.
Description
The ‘People and Places’ conference will focus on real life - the practical
ways in which local government improves people's lives. It will feature
demonstration projects and field trials of the new local performance framework
and next generation Local Area Agreement, as well as trials to devolve economic
powers. Underpinning local government's ambitions for communities will be the
work on reputation in hand jointly between LGA and local authorities, and this
will also be showcased at the event. Top-level opinion-formers and political
speakers will be put on the spot to see how they can help deliver the vision for
local government, local people and local places
Delegates from outside the UK are welcome to attend the LGA annual conference
2007. They must submit their applications, and funds must be cleared, to reach
the LGA no later than six weeks before the conference.
