National prosperity, local choice and civic engagement a new partnership between central and local government for the 21st century [electronic resource] - London TSO 2006

This report contains Sir Michael Lyons' latest thinking on local government's function, future role and funding. Lyons argues for a system of local government that can manage the increasing pressures on public expenditure, increase satisfaction and build more prosperous communities. He challenges central government to clear the space for effective place-shaping by setting fewer and better-focused targets and reducing supervision of local government by central government. He also urges local government to further raise its game, building on recent improvements, and promote effective local and energetic place-shaping.
