From the editor… If local government were a colour it would be grey – at least in many people's imagination. But the £80bn turnover business of local government and The MJ, a lively weekly news magazine read by UK local government's top managers, are anything but grey. The MJ provides essential information to the managers that run local government. It is essential reading in what has become a fast-moving public sector environment. The MJ's readers are senior managers at the UK's 462 local authorities plus senior councillors, private companies, Whitehall civil servants, professional associations, and public sector bodies. They read The MJ first for news and jobs and any inside track on the Government's plans for local government. If this is your business then you need The MJ to do your job. Michael Burton , Editor 020 7973 6668 m.burton@hgluk.com In the current issue... After months of upheaval, the new chief executive of the Local Government Association has been announced. John Ransford faces a tough task in getting the organisation back on track. The new CPA scores will bring problems for a host of authorities and Surrey CC has expressed its anger. A government minister has called councils fuddy-duddies over the way they deal with young people.
