Over recent years changes in local government have been greater and faster than ever: elected mayors and cabinets, overview and scrutiny, Best Value, Comprehensive Performance Assessment, council tax capping and reform...the pace never slackens. This comprehensively revised fourth edition of the leading local government textbook evaluates these changes and provides an informed insight into Labour's third-term agenda. With its clear, accessible style, "Local Government in the United Kingdom" will remain essential reading for students, practitioners, and anyone generally interested in local politics.
