Localis  is an  independent non partisan think-tank dedicated  to  issues  related to  local  government  and  localism. Its report ‘For Good Measure’ looks at the advantages of creating stronger accountability for improving performance to local areas and replacing central inspection with peer support and self evaluation. It foresees that:

• the performance of local government would increase
• the cost of bureaucracy and compliance decrease
• tools for a new wave of citizen-led participation would have been given to local residents.
