The coalition government, building upon the pre-election commitment of the Conservative Party, has set out strong policy commitments to reforming public services in the United Kingdom. Central to this policy approach are the concepts of localism and decentralisation. The government is keen to re-localise the running of services with a particular emphasis upon communities deciding upon and running services in their neighbourhoods, in effect creating a big society. Key to this desire is an ambition to change the structure of control in the UK and decentralise activities away from central government and towards local government and communities.
