| Policy Forum - Thursday 14 December As previously notified, the next meeting of the Forum
for Heads of Policy in local authorities will be held in Room 8.1 on Thursday. Because of
transport difficulties, the programme has been squeezed to run between 11.00 am and about
3.00 pm and will focus on just two main issues - strategies and partnerships in the
morning; and the LGA's futureswork in the afternoon.
Mike Reardon of the DETR modernisation team
will give a presentation on community strategies to start off the Forum. Steve Milton of
Salisbury district council will give this a local perspective with a talk about the South
Wiltshire Alliance. A working lunch will follow with the 40 or so council policy officers
in small groups considering the scenario in a number of key service areas in ten years
time - educaiton, social services, public protection, environment/ development, and
housing.
All LGA policy officers are invited to attend
if they wish. Advance notice would be helpful, so speak to Carol Clinton (ext 3231) (Carol Clinton)
