Published: Wed, 21 Nov 2007 16:17:16

Local Government Minister John Healey announced today (20 November 2007) that councils and their partners are now in the driving seat on new Local Area Agreements (LAAs) with a package of measures to give them the tools to make decisions and improve services and quality of life in their communities.
