- Title
TAKING STOCK OF THE LOCAL AUTHORITY ASSOCIATIONS.
- Authors
Isaac-Henry, K.
- Abstract
This article examines the achievements of the local authority associations in the period from 1974 to the present. In particular, it considers whether the associations have met the major objectives set by their predecessors. The conclusion indicates that there are a number of factors which have inhibited the achievement of these objectives. Two of the main inhibiting factors are the close connection between the associations and central government, and their readiness to respond to every move the centre makes. The associations might now consider adopting a weaker connection anda more discriminating response in relation to central government.
