Recommendation 1
1
Major local government reorganisation lacks clear vision, risking embedding existing systemic flaws.
Conclusion
The Government is undergoing the most significant local government reorganisation in decades. Substantial change, if not driven by a clear vision of what local government should be for and should be achieving, risks embedding undesirable elements of the current system into local government for the foreseeable future. (Conclusion, Paragraph 15)
