LIVE RESULTS HERE!Today (Thursday 26th Nov) we will be asking anyone who is following the myPublicServices Conference to help us categorise 384 citizen-facing services that local government currently provides.

Along with help from FutureGov's Carrie Bishop, we are running a workshop in the afternoon with delegates examining what the role of the elected member be in the 21st Century.

We want to categorise all 384 services into the following:
  • Scrap it and make it private
  • Scrap it and make it collaborative (not for profit)
  • Keep it if local politicians think it's a good idea
  • Keep it and let the state do it
  • Keep it if national politicians think it's a good idea
Anyone can help us with the job in the afternoon by going to http://www.21stcenturycouncillor.com/whoshoulddowhat

As you go along you can see how many more we've got to go - and what the results are so far. We want to get a snapshot of what public services could look like, at least from the point of existing local government responsibilities, and what who we think should be doing what.
