Over coming months, this section will be dedicated to conversations with leading figures in the public, private and voluntary sectors about the future direction of local government, the demands that are likely to be placed on it in coming years and how it will work with its partners and customers to change the way it works to better meet the needs of the people it serves.

As a quick follow up to my last post on the future of London government, I thought I would share a video made available today by the London Borough of Barnet on YouTube (quite an innovation in itself I say!).
