Backstage manager

Article Abstract:

UK Labour government Regions Minister Richard Caborn is in charge of establishing regional planning and regeneration policy. Caborn is firmly in favour of increasing planning efficiency and promoting a national policy on developing on urban sites, before using greenfield areas. The government hopes the introduction of regional development agencies (RDAs) will increase public debate and encourage decentralisation of government. Caborn worked in the steel industry before embarking on a political career and thinks it is vital for RDAs and the construction industry to work together.

Industry warms to London mayor

Article Abstract:

UK construction officials have given their backing to the proposed idea of electing the mayor of London and local assembly, as many believe it will decentralize and reform administration practices. The government has suggested holding elections in March 2000 to elect a Greater London Authority (GLA) assembly, which will be directly in charge of the 33 existing London Borough Councils. Final decisions on spending the 3.3 billion pounds sterling budget will be with the mayor and assembly. The new system could by copied in other towns if the GLA is successful.
