Got my day started today with this brilliant #PublicSectorExecutive podcast featuring Cllr Samuel Chapman-Allen, Chair of the District Councils' Network 🎤 "Sensible conversations" between #centralgovernment and #localauthorities are absolutely required if devolution is to expand and intensify. As Cllr Chapman-Allen explains, local need must be firstly understood in the context of national government policy, so the right scale of devolution can be determined. Devolution could involve a single authority or two (or more) authorities. Whatever the scale, local leaders representing the the eyes 👀 and ears 👂🏽 on the ground must be given a seat at the table from the outset. As someone who has spent the most part of my professional career encouraging collaboration across and between all public sectors, this 'joining of hearts and minds' has not always been apparent, or easy to navigate. I'm looking forward to seeing the devo journey unfold - and how the 'table is set' and who is given a place. #devolution #localauthorities #centralgovernment #localneed #positiveoutcomes https://lnkd.in/g6HeQyK8?
