This document marks a strengthened determination by government to reverse, over the next 15-20 years, some damaging, deep-seated trends. It reflects key principles for public service reform: raising, standards, devolving and delegating decision-making, providing greater flexibility over use of resources and choice for customers. It sets out a long-term vision, and some short-term actions. It builds on policies and actions already embarked upon and policies for devolving power to regions and modernisation of local government.

Summary:

A programme of action to tackle pressing problems in England's communities.
