APSE participated in a number of events on the Labour Party fringe at their spring conference this weekend.

During Saturday lunch time we held a fringe on Governance, Neighbourhoods and Service Delivery where APSEs Mark Bramah and Steve Griggs of INLOGOV were joined by Dave Prentis, General Secretary of UNISON and DCLG Minister John Healey MP to debate Governance, Neighbourghoods and Service Delivery at a fringe event chaired by Michael White of the Guardian.

Mo Baines stood in for me at the UNISON fringe on ‘Public Sector Reform - what about the workers?’, this debate included contributions from Local Government Minister Hazel Blears and UNISONs Head of Local Government, Heather Wakefield.

In the evening a fringe took place on ‘affordable housing for all’, Mark Bramah spoke for APSE along with Heather Wakefield and Jack Dromey of UNITE.
