  • Frustrated attempts to create elected regional assemblies
  • Power of the quangos – national, regional, sub-regional and local
  • Broadening of the role of regional development agencies
  • Accountability: informal partnerships rather than elected bodies
  • Renewed emphasis on local government; rise of the city state?

MONEY FLOW

  • Government departmental budgets to agencies, quangos, local government and authorities (e.g. health, police, transport)
  • Government as the gatekeeper for EU programmes
  • Discretionary regeneration funding – from bidding to special initiatives
  • Squeezing out of local autonomy
  • Emergence of the grant brokers and grant dependency
