Entitled “Great Expectations” the 2012 event will explore a range of relevant issues and topics and look at how we can translate political aspirations into tangible improvements in the lives of people across different communities throughout Scotland.
Councils, and their local partners, face severe spending constraints over the next 4 years. Not only will income fall, but demand for Services will increase sharply as well. If Services and Outcomes are to be protected for communities across Scotland, innovation and change will be necessary if our “Great Expectations” for Scotland’s many communities are to be continued to be met.
The COSLA and Improvement Service Annual Conference continues to be the keynote event not only in the Scottish Local Government Calendar but also in the Scottish political context.
