BREAKING FREE OF THE SHACKLES – FRUSTRATIONS WITH KEY REFORMS

Mounting political frustration at the pace of civil service reform hints at a wider problem with the government’s ability to achieve its ambitions. In Public Servant February former policing minister Nick Herbert looks at the deeper troubles behind Whitehall Wars and argues for more radical reform. Sir Albert Bore, leader of Britain’s biggest council, Birmingham, plans for a new brand of localism that breaks free of central government shackles, while Lord Browne identifies why ambitious policies fail to be delivered.
