We were surprised when nearly 40 councils expressed an interest in being involved in Local 2.0 and even more surprised when 28 of these enquiries turned into solid proposals! All these surprises were very welcome – even if we had to take a little longer bit longer to select the best proposals.

It's been an interesting couple of months for us. The project getting underway and so far over 35 councils have registered an interest in partnering with us - a fantastic response and good indicator of local governments' appetite for this stuff at the moment.

There is still some time before our 31st August deadline, so if you're a council officer or elected member who wants to get involved, contact us now!
