Efficiency and Best Value Manual

The Best Value Regime, as established by the Local Government Act 1998, has radically affected lawyers in local government. The interpretation and practical consequences of this key piece of legislation continue to shift and develop with regularity. "Best Value Manual" is designed to keep busy local government lawyers and managers fully up-to-date with these changes. Addressing both legal and managerial issues, it enables the reader, through regular updating issues, to keep up-to-speed with developments in reviews and performance indicators. Highly accessible, it uses invaluable flowcharts and documentation to provide an essential source of reference in the area of local government. It is an essential reading for all local government managers, service organisations, and lawyers advising local government.
