What we're talking about
Pleased to attend Parliament yesterday representing @BrightonHoveCC to make the case for bringing asylum accommodation back within local authority control & for a more equitable system of asylum dispersal across the regions.
Thank you APPG South East Chair @TanDhesi for hosting an insightful roundtable discussion in Parliament on migration services - with guest speakers @BellaSankey @MigObs @WSCCNews & South East Strategic Parntership for Migration.
Responding to @mhclg's consultation on objectives & principles of local finances, SEC has stated that meaningful reform should incorporate a stronger relationship between tax, spend and local growth.
Thank you @mhclg for an insightful regional briefing & discussion on #devolution and reorganisation this morning. Delighted to jointly host today's event with @SEemployers, with excellent speakers from @CentreforCities @reformthinktank.
Great to join @SECouncils and @SEemployers, as we launched @Localis new report ‘Restoration and Resilience’, which offers solutions to issues such as workforce challenges, capacity building and delivering much needed local #services for people like my constituents in #Slough.
SEC has responded to @mhclg's Right to Buy consultation. Steps should be taken to ensure that Right to Buy, at the very least, covers the cost of councils replenishing existing stock.
Thank you to everyone who came to our report launch last night. It was great to see so many people celebrating 🎆 the South East. Thanks to @SEemployers and @SECouncils for all their support on this report and to our speakers @SharonStevenage @Nickking, Kevin Gibbs and Ruth Adams
It was fantastic to have South East APPG Chair and Slough MP @TanDhesi join us, alongside @Localis and @SEemployers, at our Restoration and Resilience report launch! The report covers issues including workforce challenges, capacity building, and delivering local services.🙌
@jonathanwerran @Localis @SECouncils @SEemployers @SharonStevenage A fantastic set of speakers on a really important theme. Good to see @jackiesadek and @AbiBrown1 & all the Localis team!
