Local and regional government research and statistics
The Local and Regional Government Research Unit provides professional social research support and advice on a wide range of local and regional government issues. It complements the larger, service-specific research programmes run by other parts of Communities and Local Government or other government departments, eg on housing, planning, urban policies and social services. Further information about the unit can be found under 'about the unit and the research programme'.
Published research can be found via the links below to the six broad themes of the research programme: Cross-cutting issues; Local and community leadership; Local government finance; Patterns of governance, Citizen participation and democratic renewal; Regional government and governance; and Service delivery and improvement. In addition, details of the long term evaluation of the local government modernisation agenda, and data analysis undertaken by the unit are also found under the links below.
