As budgets are squeezed do we continue to salami slice our services or seek new sources of income to help balance the books? This seminar will explore the legal and accountancy framework for income generation, charging and trading models and new models of investment led income generation.
We will also explore practical and operational issues looking at exemplar case study councils and wholly owned companies, which showcase income generation through frontline service delivery in housing, streetscene, parks and public realm and environmental services.
The seminar will end with two informative workshops with delegates having the option to attend one of the workshops. The first workshop will explore the different models of service delivery for income generation and the second workshop will look at how you can plan to trade or charge in your service area and review your service with a view to maximising income generation possibilities.
