LALC Summer Conference and Shining Stars Awards

The LALC Summer Conference took place this week at The Bentley Hotel. Over 90 delegates attended the event, and the feedback has been very positive.

Delegates were treated to an interactive session run by Clive Wilson from the United Nations Association Greater Lincolnshire, promoting new thinking and actions by local councils to promote the attainment of the UN2030 goals. Joining Clive was Dan Clayton, sharing Lincolnshire County Council’s support for sustainable projects in parishes.

Workshops were on offer from CCLA (Investment Opportunities for Local Authorities), BHIB (Cyber Security), Amy Lennox (Funding). Delegates also had the chance to interact with a Q&A panel consisting of Cllr Richard Davies (Lincolnshire County Council Highways), John Turner (Integrated Care Board), Alistair Jones (Associate Professor and University Teacher Fellow, De Montfort University) and Phil Clark (Deputy Police & Crime Commissioner).

At the Shining Stars Awards dinner in the evening, Alistair Jones from De Montfort University presented on the Future of the Sector.
