Whose role is it anyway?

28/11/2013

Dan Corry looks at the challenges faed locally and nationlly as the roles and responsibilities of citizens and the state and market blur.

Austerity woes

30/08/2011

The cuts agenda could put at risk the work any decent council should be most about: creating cohesion and economic prosperity at the heart of our communities, says Dan Corry.

The search for financial consensus

27/07/2011

Localising business rates could just institutionalise a two-tier system with affluent councils breaking away from their more deprived cousins, says Dan Corry.

On the cutting edge

21/06/2011

Spending reductions, not fancy ideas, are likely to drive the debate about future health reform, suggests Dan Corry.

Devolution plus

24/05/2011

If Scotland is to be given devolved tax powers, why not give similar powers to our big city-regions, asks Dan Corry

Don’t fuel the machine

09/05/2011

This time, of course, it may be different, but all too often, incoming governments feel the need to introduce public service reform White Papers, complains Dan Corry

Measuring up to progress

30/03/2011

Payment by results, outcome-based contracts or social impact bonds all need to be more than the latest ‘must haves’ for policy wonks and public service providers, if they are going to work effectively, says Dan Corry

Mind your language

03/03/2011

The language of politics has shifted, and in local government, valued activities are in danger of being brushed aside by the latest fad and phrase, says Dan Corry

How to bounce back?

04/02/2011

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to reinvigorate the moribund UK economy, says Dan Corry

Localism is dead – long live localism

14/12/2010

The Government has failed to grasp the nettle of localism and there is a real danger that new localism will be perceived as just another excuse for cuts, says Dan Corry
