Seminar Programme

About the seminar

Despite limited resources and increasing demands, councils have continued to develop their Street Scene services and deliver for their local communities. 

The seminar therefore aims to show how local authorities are meeting these challenges by changing service delivery in innovative ways and using partner and community support thus allowing more sustainable services to be delivered.

APSE brings together a wide variety of speakers who will debate how they have transformed policy into practice to achieve these changes. On the day we will look at:

• How local authorities are using artificial intelligence to improve the Street Scene.
• How councils can use data to improve their Street Scene
• Consider how Governments can help local authorities address the issues of fly-tipping and littering through a more tailored approach to local problems.
• We will look at how local authority street cleansing services are trying to play their part in addressing climate change by looking what can be practically done now, and what is needed to be able to do more in the future.
• How service review and subsequent transformation can bring about significant benefits both to the quality and sustainability of local authority services but also to the local residents
• How local authorities need to have a flexibility in service delivery approaches, looking to partners to help manage increased usage of our streets and open spaces.
