All custodians, ALOs and street naming and numbering officers should have by now
received a brochure about the conference, together with the 'Your time is valuable' -
why you should come along flyer.
This conference is a celebration of the work that you do in your local authority -
contributing to the wider community. Please do come along, especially if you haven't
been before. Great to see that registrations are already coming in!
If there is someone at your authority that you would like to bring with you to the
conference, or feel that they should get an invite, email ggander@intelligent-
addressing.co.uk with their contact details (email and postal) and we will get a
special invite to them.
This could be your line manager, someone from another directorate thinking about using
your LLPG/LSG, your head of information, a partner in your local police or fire
service, or with this year's focus on efficiency savings, your finance director.
Please use this opportunity to show why the LLPG/LSG is important in your authority.
