Reviews
"This fine volume is further confirmation of the growing importance of 'neighbourhood' in delivering public services. The book is for managers and practitioners and helps understand 'going local' and how it will help reshape organisations as they redirect their energies toward providing neighbourhood-based services." Community Care, about the first edition "This well-written, highly recommendable text provides readers with much that will be valuable in the challenge of managing of community practice in order to benefit local people." Keith Popple, London South Bank University
