  • What Was the Political Difference Made by the Introduction of Executive Mayors in England?
    WHAT WAS THE POLITICAL DIFFERENCE MADE BY THE INTRODUCTION OF EXECUTIVE MAYORS IN ENGLAND? By Douglas Campbell A thesis submitted to the School of Government and Society The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Institute of Local Government Studies School of Government and Society The University of Birmingham November 2009 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT The creation of eleven directly elected mayors in England between 2002 and 2005, as part of the Labour Government©s wider local government reform, altered local governance in those localities. The 1998 White Paper Modern Local Government identified three key weaknesses in the previous local government system: a lack of leadership, legitimacy and accountability. The main question the thesis sought to answer was: what was the political difference made by the introduction of executive mayors in England.? The key issue in this study was to assess if executive mayors have improved the efficiency, the transparency or the accountability of local government The investigation of the executive mayoral option employed an analytical framework to measure change on three dimensions of efficiency, transparency and accountability.

    1982-2019 Where are we today? Many thanks to the members of North Tyneside Women’s Voices who put the issue together, to all of the women who contributed articles and pieces, and to Sail Creative, for their fantastic design The content within this publication was independently created by women in North Tyneside, as a contribution to the Women of Tyneside project. The views expressed within the publication are those of the women involved and do not reflect those of Women of Tyneside or Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums. Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums hereby disclaims any liability to any party for any loss or damage caused by error DEMAND or omissions whether such errors or omissions result from negligence, accident or other cause.. This issue of Scarlet Women has been produced as a North Tyneside contribution to Tyne & Wear Archives & Museum’s Women of Tyneside project. The project theme for this borough was ‘Power and Influence’, chosen because North Tyneside has had more female MPs and women in locally powerful positions than any other borough in Tyne and Wear. (1). Scarlet Women was a national newsletter produced from 1976 – 82 from North Shields at the height of the Women’s Liberation Movement (2). It came out of the 1976 WLM conference in Newcastle where women from a local group raised their frustrations about the difficulties women who identified as feminists and socialists were facing to convince the men on the left that their issues should be taken seriously (3). For this issue we have asked women who live or who have worked in North
