520			_aReports on the attempts by coucils and housing associations to integrate their different departments to provide a better service to the public. East Riding Council is an example of this new cooperation as it has increased the number of housing repairs completed within government time limits from 53% to 95% during the past three years. Warns that linking up services at local levels can have its disadvantages as the experiences of London councils such as Islington and Tower Hamlets show. Here in the 1980s the housing services were decentralised and too many resources were duplicated. The differing approaches from the councils illustrate that there is no such thing as a model structure for all local authorities as this will depend on their particular size and location.
