Booking your council’s place at the 2024 conference and AGM via this Eventbrite link not only tells us your lunch preferences, but also enables us to find out which workshop sessions you want to attend.
Date: Wednesday 13th November 2024, 9:30am to 4pm
Location: The Canalside Conference Centre, Marsh Lane, Bridgwater TA6 6LQ
We are organising the Somerset Parish Conference 2024 in partnership with Somerset Council to mark the launch of our “Somerset Councils Together Charter”.
The day will highlight success stories from our joint work to build city, town, and parish council capacity to improve the health and wellbeing of our communities, and develop our collective vision for the next phase of local solutions across our county.
We are delighted that Jonathan Owen, Chief Executive of the National Association of Local Councils (NALC), will be joining us to share learnings from devolution in other counties, as well as NALC’s “Civility and Respect” programme.
The morning will feature workshop sessions on:
The conference also offers an opportunity for councillors and officers to meet some of our Somerset partner bodies, as well as other organisations that deliver services to local councils.
The final session of the afternoon will feature SALC’s AGM, where we will elect new company directors for the coming years.
Please note that only 2 representatives per SALC member council may attend the AGM. Although we welcome attendance by clerks, one attendee from each member council must be a councillor in order to vote and meet our quorum.
After you have booked your council’s places, we will contact each attendee to confirm which of the three workshop sessions they would prefer to attend during the two available morning and afternoon parallel sessions.
We regret that, owing to venue capacity and that Somerset boasts more than 300 city, town, and parish councils, and parish meetings, tickets will be restricted to two representatives of each local council/ parish meeting.
