The Strathclyde experience makes it clear that local government should be precise about the objectives it wishes to pursue, the likelihood of achieving these, the methods it must adopt, and the best way of monitoring progress and effectiveness. Strathclyde Region has laid the base for a much more efficient delivery of services and resources relating to its particular needs, this information being derived from local data collection and analysis and providing essential underpinning to policy initiatives on issues (e.g. services to the unemployed, one‐parent families). Regional deprivation strategy has increased political awareness of Regional employees, and the 1983 strategy emphasises community development. Through a greater commitment by Regional staff to act positively in reducing the impact of urban deprivation, the effect of Regional policy on the lives of individuals has been significant.
