Planting the Flag is a Local CIO Council initiative led by Socitm's Futures group. It sets out how technology can enable public service reform across the whole range of local services and deliver significant savings and better outcomes
for people where they live and work.
Following a number of meetings between the Local CIO Council, Socitm, LGA and Buying Solutions, a open letter has been written to Socitm members to answer queries about the Government Connect (GCSx) charges for 2011/12.
