description: This booklet analyzes the changing role of local authorities and their problems in winning the confidence of electors. The authors argue that a return to the idea of the local authority as a conduit for change is an essential first step in winning back public and political support for the concept of local government. Similarly, they point to the continental practice of national politicians maintaining their local office as an example of how best to end the apparent divide between central and local government.
