Community budgets guide

The Community Budgets Guide, published jointly by the Local Government Association and the Government, and endorsed by the Prime Minister, describes how an overhaul of the way the public sector provides and pays for services can make things better for the people they serve, while delivering significant savings.

The guide describes how partnerships between public sector organisations in four areas, Essex, Greater Manchester, West Cheshire and the London piloted a new approach to local public service transformation during 2012.
