Local capital investment faces a challenging future: centrally provided funding is set to be reduced by 30 per cent over the spending review period and major investment programmes in schools and hospitals are disappearing.

In this challenging context our report is set to examine how the retail bond market could become part of this new capital finance landscape.

This launch event will involve presentations from high profile figures from the local government sector, the financial services industry and the report’s lead researcher, followed by a panel discussion and networking.

The relationship between councils and the people they serve is changing. The public is becoming more sceptical about government’s ability to address social problems, while local authorities are increasingly reshaping their services in ways that demand effort from citizens themselves. New Labour’s idea of the ‘consumer-citizen’ appears to be dying, but what might replace it?

This event will be used to launch a new think piece from NLGN and PA Consulting that explores how the citizens of the future will want to engage with councils, and what this means for local government organisation. With contributions from leading industry experts, top local authorities and others, this discussion offers the opportunity to learn how councils are seeking to reshape the way they interface with communities and networking with key stakeholders.

This free event marks the cullmination of a major research project for NLGN.

It is clear local economies will be under significant pressure in the coming years. Achieving strong and sustainable growth will not be easy: the outlook for the Eurozone and the UK economy remains bleak, and budget cuts are putting a strain on councils’ resources and capacity to pursue a ‘business as usual’ approach to economic development. A full understanding of the current situation and new approaches for the future are needed, both of which our report aims to provide.

Both the report and the discussion accompanying its launch will address these challenges and the new approaches necessary to tackle them. With contributions from key central government and local government stakeholders, including Edward Twiddy, Deputy Director, Local Government & Regions, HM Treasury, the discussion will examine both the practical and strategic tools for promoting growth. Learn how councils, local enterprise partnerships and businesses can work together to achieve vibrant local economies while sharing your own insights.
