Thank you to @ElmbridgeBC for inviting me to speak on devolution and reorganisation at your staff conference at @BrooklandsMuseu today. If only there was a quick means of transport to get back to London so I don't miss our @districtcouncil chief execs meeting.
"Private landlords are sometimes asking for a year up front in terms of deposit now." @ChelmsCouncil chief Nick Eveleigh reveals the impact of the housing crisis at @districtcouncil #LGAconf24 fringe.
It's been a sad week for everyone associated with @lgcplus in recent decades. Our legendary production editor Duncan Leslie has died. None of us will forget him in a hurry.

🗳️It is not just the 7am to 10pm shift at the polling station and the subsequent election count all-nighter.
🗳️Work takes place year-round on maintaining the electoral roll. Since the general election was called they have been working flat out to ensure it's free and fair.

🗳️It is thanks to the hard work, integrity and professionalism of returning officers and their dedicated teams that elections take place.
🗳️Good luck to all district council electoral teams today!
🗳️And thank you to all of you for your service to democracy.

“As we get districts, counties, the voluntary sector, the NHS and other partners working together at a neighbourhood level, we can put resources together and get better outcomes.” Patricia Hewitt at #dcnconf2024
Delighted to say #dcnconf2024 is packed for @CllrSamuelC_A's chairman's address.
After a fortnight away, nothing says 'welcome back to London' quite like a six and a half hour tailback to get through the Blackwall tunnel.

Yet another delay in national waste policy with local ramifications! "“Councils need clarity on waste policy and we need it urgently," says @snelmzie after #EPR delayed by year.

"Where district councils exist, they’re a big part of the municipal structure, and it’s impossible to see how ICSs could meet their objectives without districts playing a part." Thanks to @Davewwest & @HSJnews for covering DCN/@TheKingsFund study.

Truly fascinating discussion with member councils on building organisational resilience today, with bold vision expressed on robotics, AI, the working week and partnerships. Thank you to @Capita_LPS for your support.

.@districtcouncil is one of 30 bodies to sign a letter warning the Govt its proposed Infrastructure Levy won't achieve the aims of increasing affordable housing & infrastructure. We think it will have the opposite effect & heap financial risk on councils.
