Thesis submitted in part fulfilmerit (öi; the Degree of : sj;*'/iß Doctor of Philosophy toi Middlesex University Business School laAfüly 2003 • v, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS While this thesis is the fulfilment of a long held and very personal dream, it would be wrong to represent it as a solo effort. Thanks are due to the many people who provided académie guidance or personal support and encouragement, and especially to the three people who gave me both in large measure: Professor Karin Newman, Dr. Bal Chansarkar and the late Professor Alan Cowling. Doing a PhD as a part-time mature student is never easy. If I had known at the start what would be involved I might never have undertaken the task. It is thanks to Karin and Alan that I got started, and thanks to Karin and Bal that I continued. Thanks are also due to my wife, Janet, for her tolérance as I disappeared at regular intervais into a strange académie world and for her ability to keep the rest of my life running on track. Thanks also to my friends, especially Rosemary, who listened while I talked endlessly about what I was doing, and how I would never be able to finish it, and showed more faith in me than I did. The London Borough of Barnet supported me financially for part of the course, and provided ail manner of help in kind during the six years. I am deeply grateful for their commitment to the training and development of their staff, and to ail my colleagues at Barnet who have helped in so many ways. ABSTRACT The primary aim of the thesis was to investígate the theoretical implications of extending relationship marketing to a sector where it had not previously been applied, namely local govemment in England. The secondary research aim was to investígate the nature of relationships betweeñ service providers and service users in the context of a London Borough, with a view to making recommendations on appropriate marketing strategies for different local govemment services. The research design was based upon a review of elements of the academic literature on relationships, relationship marketing, and local govemment. The review led to the identification of a new way of describing marketing relationships, namely the 'model' of a relationship. Eight such models were identified in the literature and seven were used in the data collection phase of the study. An embedded case study approach was used to collect and analyse the data, with the London Borough of Barnet acting as the overall case, and three different services provided by the Borough Council serving as the embedded cases. The three services, chosen to reflect the wide range of different activities carried out by a London Borough, were Libraries, Environmental Health and Benefits. Within each of the three embedded cases there were two quantitative, self-completion surveys - one for the service providers and one for the service users. The surveys were used to obtain numerical scores for each of the seven relationship models. The study presents the relationship model scores for the six surveys and shows how they form a picture of the relationships between the providers of a particular service and the users of that service. In particular it is shown that while users do not perceive any relationship between themselves and the service providers, the providers do perceive a relationship - described by either the Taken for Granted relationship model (providers in both the Environmental Health and the Benefits services) or the Weak Ties model (Library service providers). The main finding of the study in respect of the primary research aim is that while there are no theoretical objections to extending relationship marketing into local government, in practice attempts to do so are unlikely to succeed because the service provider/service user relationships involved in the local government contexts examined in this study are typifíed by levéis of interpersonal interaction which are too low to permit the creation and maintenance of viable relationships. The study also notes that the inappropriateness of one form of marketing does not rule out all other forms of marketing in local government, and in particular the concept of marketing Taken for Granted services is discussed in the context of the secondary research aim. One of the characteristics of this type of service is a degree of dissociation in the service user's mind between the service itself and the organisation supplying it. A set of recommended strategies for marketing this kind of service, adapted for local government from the literature of Taken for Granted marketing, is put forward. The marketing implications of the other relationship models are also briefly discussed. The limitations of this thesis are outlined in the conclusión and some avenues for fiiture. research are suggested, including investigation of the possibility that the providers of Taken for Granted services might feel taken for granted, not just by their service users but also by their own employers.

  • London and Middlesex in the 1660S Introduction: the Early Modern
    London and Middlesex in the 1660s Introduction: The early modern metropolis first comes into sharp visual focus in the middle of the seventeenth century, for a number of reasons. Most obviously this is the period when Wenceslas Hollar was depicting the capital and its inhabitants, with views of Covent Garden, the Royal Exchange, London women, his great panoramic view from Milbank to Greenwich, and his vignettes of palaces and country-houses in the environs. His oblique birds-eye map- view of Drury Lane and Covent Garden around 1660 offers an extraordinary level of detail of the streetscape and architectural texture of the area, from great mansions to modest cottages, while the map of the burnt city he issued shortly after the Fire of 1666 preserves a record of the medieval street-plan, dotted with churches and public buildings, as well as giving a glimpse of the unburned areas.1 Although the Fire destroyed most of the historic core of London, the need to rebuild the burnt city generated numerous surveys, plans, and written accounts of individual properties, and stimulated the production of a new and large-scale map of the city in 1676.2 Late-seventeenth-century maps of London included more of the spreading suburbs, east and west, while outer Middlesex was covered in rather less detail by county maps such as that of 1667, published by Richard Blome [Fig. 5]. In addition to the visual representations of mid-seventeenth-century London, a wider range of documentary sources for the city and its people becomes available to the historian.

Beacham, Carter, Charles, J.P., Coles, Daniels, J.P., Ellement and Gange. PART I.—RECOMMENDATIONS. RECOMMENDATION I-Town and Country Planning Acts, 1932 : Proposed Formation of Executive Joint Town Planning Committees for Middlesex. Your Committee reported at length on this matter to the Council on 22nd July, 1944. The Council at that meeting (by Council resolution 2919) approved, in principle, the setting up of executive joint town planning committees in Middlesex in accordance with the suggestion which had been made by the Ministry of Town and Country Planning. The Ministry indicated that it would be appropriate to form three such joint committees in the County, one of these to be called the " West Middlesex Executive Joint Planning Committee" and to be appointed by the Borough Councils of Hendon, Wembley and Willesden and the Urban District Councils of Harrow, Ruislip-Northwood and Uxbridge. By the same resolution the Council authorised your Committee to appoint representatives to discuss generally, with representatives of the five other local authorities concerned, matters relating to the formation and constitution of the new West Middlesex executive joint committee, which was then being suggested by the Ministry of Town and Country Planning. The final paragraph of the recommendation adopted by the Council on 22nd July, 1944, contains an instruction to your Committee to report further, with appropriate recommendations, when a decision upon the proposals of the Ministry of Town and Country Planning had been arrived at. A conference was held in Harrow on 18th October, 1944, at which there were present representatives of the six local authorities mentioned above.
