The MJ
In the current issue
The pace of change shows no signs of stopping within central government and this week The MJ details plans for 'super mayors'.
Directly-elected mayors will also become chief executives under plans set out by communities secretary Eric Pickles.
The batle over public sector pensions is also hotting up with calls for an increase in contributions to cut costs.
Concern is mounting over the speed of development of the new academies, according to one expert.
We also detail the possible new role for councils in overseeing health delivery in their communities.
Letter from the editor
If local government were a colour it would be grey – at least in many people’s imagination. But the £80bn turnover business of local government and The MJ, a lively weekly news magazine read by UK local government's top managers, are anything but grey.
The MJ provides essential information to the managers that run local government. It is essential reading in what has become a fast-moving public sector environment. The MJ's readers are senior managers at the UK’s 462 local authorities plus senior councillors, private companies, Whitehall civil servants, professional associations, and public sector bodies. They read The MJ first for news and jobs and any inside track on the Government’s plans for local government. If this is your business then you need The MJ to do your job.
