Local Government Conference, 8th June, Newcastle

In the midst of elections, many of our members will switch off from events till after 2nd May. So I am asking officers and our listed Labour & Co-operative Councillors to help promote this event which given the number of Co-operative Councillors we already have, plus we hope new ones, a conference to give support and direction to, is ideal so soon after 2nd May.

Officers, can you consider letting interested members know their travel expenses will be covered?

Councillors, can you encourage your colleagues to attend?

Join us for masterclasses, discussions, ‘spotlight’ sessions and keynotes across a wide range of subjects including:

Food justice
Education
Environment and climate change
Community safety

Confirmed guests include:

Dame Vera Baird, Police and Crime Commissioner
Cllr Nick Forbes, Leader of Newcastle and LGA Labour Group
Andrew Gwynne MP, Shadow Secretary of State
Pam Warhurst, Founder of Incredible Edible

ask your members to visit the website https://party.coop/event/local-government-conference/ to book themselves. Below is the booking form, should you want to attend the conference.
