The 2006 Local Government White Paper, Strong and Prosperous Communities, promised a new era of freedom for local government: greater flexibility to set priorities, greater discretion over how to meet them. This meant that, among other things, up to an estimated 1,200 indicators for assessing performance would be reduced to around 200 national indicators.
This document shows that Government is delivering. It sets out a single set of just 198 measures representing what Government believes should be the national priorities for local government, working alone or in partnership, over the next three years. It rightly paves the way for local authorities and their partners to look less to Whitehall for legitimacy and direction, and more to the communities they serve.
The headlines for us in Local Taxation and Benefits that there are now no Local Taxation indicators proposed from April 2008 and just 2 Benefits indicators.
