Councils are spending an estimated £1.54bn a year on facilities management, yet many still lack the basic estate data needed to manage their property portfolios effectively. With utilities costs up 49% over the last four years despite falling consumption, finding efficiencies has never been more important.
Join us on 22 September at 10am for a free webinar exploring the findings of a major new report into local authority estate management, and what they mean for councils navigating financial pressures, devolution and net zero commitments.
Dave Parrett of Cadaema Consulting Services will walk through the headline findings, followed by a panel with Natalie Palmer and Jonathan Werran, chaired by LocalGov editor William Eichler. They'll discuss why so many councils still lack estate data, whether devolution will accelerate or delay efficiency gains, and how councils can start closing the data gap without major new investment.
