General Links
Info4localgov. This site
provides the first, online, one-stop gateway for local authorities to get
quick and easy access to local government-related information that is
published on the web sites of central government departments and agencies.
Audit Commission.
The Audit Commission is an independent body responsible for ensuring that
public money is used economically, efficiently and effectively. The Audit
Commission carries out national research on public sector delivery
performance.
I&DeA. Established by and for
local government, the Improvement and Development Agency (IDeA) draws
expertise from local authorities, the business world, professional service
firms, not for profit organisations as well as other parts of the public
sector.
Local Government Association. This
site provides all with an interest in local government with access to
information on current issues, links to local authorities, news on events
and interviews with leading local government features.
The Invest to Save Budget (ISB) is
about oiling the wheels of partnership. ISB is itself a joint venture
between Treasury and Cabinet Office. It provides funds to encourage two or
more public bodies to jointly reconfigure elements of their work or to
initiate new processes to provide innovative, or streamlined, or simply
better modes of service. Often such a step is too risky, or considered too
marginal, to attract mainstream funding. This is exactly why many bold
ideas wither on the vine, even though - if these ideas were tested - they
may lead to improved delivery at a better price.
