Thank you to @ElmbridgeBC for inviting me to speak on devolution and reorganisation at your staff conference at @BrooklandsMuseu today. If only there was a quick means of transport to get back to London so I don't miss our @districtcouncil chief execs meeting.

@alistairmcint14 Thank you for this Alistair. I think Percy Ingle was a seminal part of life and I love the fact you remember this article.

@Jonathan_Bunn_ Yes, Jon, I think Dunc was the epitome of a genuine rebel.

[Nick Golding @NickGolding]

It's been a sad week for everyone associated with @lgcplus in recent decades. Our legendary production editor Duncan Leslie has died. None of us will forget him in a hurry.

"Give us the tools to get houses built, especially affordable homes." Here's our chairman @CllrSamuelC_A setting out our #KingsSpeech priorities, saying it can set the ground for a partnership of collaboration between district councils and the Government.

🗳️It is not just the 7am to 10pm shift at the polling station and the subsequent election count all-nighter.
🗳️Work takes place year-round on maintaining the electoral roll. Since the general election was called they have been working flat out to ensure it's free and fair.

[Local Councils Network @localcouncilnet]

🗳️It is thanks to the hard work, integrity and professionalism of returning officers and their dedicated teams that elections take place.
🗳️Good luck to all district council electoral teams today!
🗳️And thank you to all of you for your service to democracy.

“As we get districts, counties, the voluntary sector, the NHS and other partners working together at a neighbourhood level, we can put resources together and get better outcomes.” Patricia Hewitt at #dcnconf2024

Delighted to say #dcnconf2024 is packed for @CllrSamuelC_A's chairman's address.

After a fortnight away, nothing says 'welcome back to London' quite like a six and a half hour tailback to get through the Blackwall tunnel.

@marxculture @dominiccampbell @Samfr As a now politically impartial local gov officer I offer no opinion on the central government guidance which required councils to fly a flag on Prince Andrew's birthday.

Yet another delay in national waste policy with local ramifications! "“Councils need clarity on waste policy and we need it urgently," says @snelmzie after #EPR delayed by year.

I'm so looking forward to seeing all my #localgov pals at #LGAConf23. Come and see me and the rest of the @districtcouncil team at stand W2.

[Nick Golding @NickGolding]

It's so sad to learn of the death of Bob Kerslake. In my @lgcplus days he gave such thoughtful insight to our journalists and we were hugely grateful for his eagerness to express his wisdom at our events. A lovely man and a champion of #localgov.
