JLGC’s participation at this year’s LG Group Conference in Birmingham has been noted on their conference blog – you can see the article here.
We’d like to thank everyone who came to talk to us for the chance to find out what UK local authority staff are interested in, in terms of the Japanese experience of local government, as well as all those curious about what Japanese local government was doing there!
Some of the shared interest on issues was in finance for local infrastructure, the role of LAs in supporting regional economies, place branding and identity, as well as others. We will be producing articles for publication in our email magazine and website, as well as case studies, over the coming months. To register for the magazine look on our home page here.
Any other areas of interest and suggestions for articles gratefully received by email to mailbox@jlgc.org.uk
