Description
This book examines the growing role of local authorities in liaising with other providers of local services (eg local health authorities, housing associations, MSC), with the private sector, and with local representatives' groups (eg PTE, residents' associations). The author examines the range of relationships with such bodies, from control and regulation, to support and partnership. Its conclusions and suggestions are illustrated by case histories of successful - and unsuccessful - practice. The book is intended to be used as a practical guide to management development by all senior government officers.
