Some interesting takes on local government modernisation from NLGN reported on and in their own words. I like the idea of a "localism test" to require Whitehall to check whether any central initiative might be better carried out locally.

96% of government services will be available online by 2005. Interesting factoid: there are 657 services identified across the whole of central government: this is equivalent to the services provided by one (large) local authority.

Some questions as to whether eBay is really a sensible model for civic discourse.We’re building an eBay type service on one of our projects, so this is semi-relevant.

Tameside signs LPSA v2 keeping them well in front of most other councils. Not much on e-gov in the targets, but plenty of money / rewards for meeting them.

The government is thinking about an eBay-style marketplace for goods and services. It’s an interesting idea – as they suggest, why not let the private sector build it and run it under licence and then it doesn’t really matter if it works or not....
