National Funding for Local Improvements
“Improving local well-being involves working with a range of partners to address issues at the most appropriate scale. The resulting complexity of working and funding arrangements can hamper successful delivery of programmes. The most successful approaches are those that are firmly grounded in the needs and opportunities of the local area, not driven by funding streams.” So says the UK-based Audit Commission in an examination of national funding for local improvement efforts. That chapter ends with the sobering analysis, “But these things are difficult in the current environment.” The report, People, Places and Prosperity, goes on to propose a framework for balancing national and local goals in a way that could inform policy debates on this side of the big pond.
