Northamptonshire’s Unitarisation: 5 Key Lessons for Local Government

Local Government faces the most significant structural changes it has had to accommodate in over 50 years. Not only does it continue to provide services to residents in the most difficult of circumstances, it now also faces significant challenges, and opportunities through the onset of Local Government Reorganisation and Devolution.

To kick off our new series of Panoramic Associates Briefings on Devolution and Reorganisation, supported by LOGIN, we are delighted to be joined by Martyn Cockram and Tim Carr who will draw on their experience establishing the new Unitary services of North and West Northamptonshire to share their key lessons for Local Government Reorganisation.
