With inflation, energy bills and the cost of living rising there is an even greater need to look at what the public services local government delivers, how it’s working and if it’s having the desired impact. Increasingly public services are reliant on digital technology to support frontline staff and the services the public see on a day to day basis.
How are councils tackling these challenges? What are their immediate priorities? And what solutions are the tech sector offering that can help the council and council taxpayer?
Join techUK for a discussion with a panel of speakers who are focused on the opportunities that embracing technology, data and innovation can have on local public services, from savings in delivery to better engaging residents in the work of the council.
