New efficiencies ''to drive regeneration plans''Regeneration projects in London, Thurrock and West Northamptonshire will benefit from plans to enhance operations management, it has been claimed.

This is according to communities ministers Shahid Malik and Ian Austin, who declared that a review of Urban Development Corporations (UDC) in these areas will result in stronger delivery arrangements and enhanced local planning responsibility.

Under the new agreements, greater partnership working between government and local authorities will be seen, with efficiencies delivered in collaborative procurement, IT and back office operations.

Continuous improvement is the focus of measures such as incorporating Thurrock Thames Gateway Development Corporation into regeneration body the Homes and Community Agency, more partnership working by the London Thames Gateway Development Corporation and more focused strategic delivery by the West Northamptonshire Development Corporation.

"Not only will the changes improve efficiency they will help us drive forward key regeneration projects such as the Olympic Park, the London Gateway port at Shellhaven and the redevelopment of Purfleet," Mr Malik stated.

The Welsh Assembly recently announced that a series of projects are being launched under the second phase of Invest-to-Save schemes in order to deliver public sector cost savings.ADNFCR-3058-ID-19567915-ADNFCR
