We would like to invite you to attend the Lancashire Parish and Town Council Conference on 4th November 2023 at The Exchange at County Hall, Preston.
We are again offering the option to attend the conference either in person or virtually via MS Teams. For those Parish or Town Councils attending in person, we can offer a maximum of two places per Parish or Town Council. Online participants will be able to watch all the presentations up until lunchtime via Microsoft Teams and submit questions via the 'chat' function.
We have excellent presenters on a range of topics including CC Phillippa Williamson, Leader of Lancashire County Council, speaking on Lancashire 2050 and devolution. Other topics include public rights of way, flooding, highways and environment updates and rural crime. Plenty of time will be allocated for your questions. A provisional programme is attached. There will also be a number of information stands with staff on hand during breaks and lunch.
We are coordinating arrangements with the Lancashire Association of Local Councils (LALC) who will hold their AGM in the afternoon, following the conference in the morning. Lunch will be available for everyone in between the two events.
If your council is a member of LALC, you may attend both the conference and the AGM, or just the AGM. Attendance at the LALC AGM is in person only.
