ODPM: Housing, Planning, Local Government and the Regions Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2005 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Committee's report was originally intended to improve the draft Regional Assemblies Bill (Cm 6285, ISBN 0101628528) published in July 2004. Although the draft Bill is now unlikely to proceed through Parliament in the near future, the report identifies key points which the Government should consider if, in the light of the result of the referendum in the North East in November 2004, it decides it wishes to return to the issue of introducing elected regional assemblies. The report discusses a range of issues including: the powers and resources of regional assemblies; their relations with local and central government; policy areas such as economic performance, skills development, transport and housing; funding aspects; constitutional and electoral issues, including the voting system used; and stakeholder participation. The Committee concludes that any future legislation needs to be more ambitious than the draft Bill to create regional bodies that are fit for their purpose.

Download or read book Local Government in the United Kingdom written by David Wilson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-04-12 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During its 13 years of office, Labour's modernization agenda transformed the world of UK local government. Amidst a starkly altered political and economic climate the coalition government formed in 2010 pledged to implement equally radical changes to the system. Taking account of the coalition's programme for government and its first round of spending cuts, the completely revised and updated fifth edition of this popular and established text is timed to take full advantage of this historic juncture. David Wilson and Chris Game provide readers with systematic coverage of the UK's local government. The book examines its defining features, its history, changing structure, operations, functions, financing, and its relations with central government. The fifth edition gives additional emphasis to local government in the devolved regions of the UK, and provides more extensive analysis of centre-local government relations. The authors deliver a thorough critique of Labour's third term in office. Looking ahead, the book anticipates the future of local government under the coalition government. Two themes look likely to dominate policy making: decentralization and cuts to public spending. With its clear, accessible, non-technical style and popular illustrations, Local Government in the United Kingdom will be essential reading for students, practitioners, and anyone with an interest in local politics.

This book was released on 2010-03-16 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report focuses on the work of Yorkshire Forward, its use of resources (forecast to be around £360 million in 2009-10) and how the regional strategies it has developed benefit the region's population of over 5 million, especially in the current economic climate. Yorkshire Forward has led the development of three Regional Economic Strategies (RESs). Although developed by Yorkshire Forward it is felt that it is important that the RES is owned by the region and Yorkshire Forward is commended for its consultative and collaborative approach. It is important that full account is taken of the region's diversity and it will need to be ensured that this is reflected in the new Integrated Regional Strategy, but this should not mean that sub-regional concerns are put ahead of a balanced approach to the interests of the region as a whole and should not detract from Yorkshire Forward's original core economic focus. The Committee is also concerned about the impact of budget cuts and a reduction in funding on the work of Yorkshire Forward and they recommend that Yorkshire Forward's budget not be decreased further
