Abstract

The Government’s legislation challenges the role of local authorities but it is also challenging their way of working. Local authorities have come to define their role by the direct provision of services and their organisation and management have reflected that definition. The Government’s legislation means that the role of local authorities can no longer be defined in those terms but must encompass contracting out the provision of services, enabling others to provide the service or regulating the provision. The new ways of working require changes in the management and organisation of local authorities.
