Local authority leaders have welcomed the Charity Commission's change of position to allow the voluntary sector to take a leading role in core public service delivery.
'The decision is good news, because although local authorities work closely with charities at the moment, this will simply allow charities to also come into the market and be involved in direct delivery. That has to be a good thing,' said Sir Sandy Bruce-Lockhart, chairman of the Local Government Association (LGA), a lobby group representing 500 authorities in England and Wales. "
