The CPD cycle @cipr.co.uk closes on 31 March. Make sure your learning gets counted and log your CPD. There are thousands of events in the CPD ladder but if the thing you want to log isn't or was run by another body use a custom submission. #CPD #professionalism

Councils have a proven track record of delivering growth to their local communities.

If Govt wishes to succeed in its mission to kickstart economic growth, it is vital that councils are provided with sufficient funding to deliver for their communities.
