Title: Royal Commission on Local Government in England: Community Attitudes Survey (Research Studies 9)
Description: London, HMSO 1969 vi, 187pp, many tables 25x15, card wraps Name of report on spine in ink, initials on cover, good thus. Detailed survey of social attitudes for the Royal Commission on Local Government. A key finding was that the majority of people wanted their local elected representatives and institutions to be small and local, which ran entirely counter to the attitude of the Government which wanted large and regional bodies for 'more efficient' application of central planning. This tension was strongly reflected in the 'Don't Vote for RE Mote' campaigns against the eventual proposals from the Commission, and the significant watering down of them in the 1972 Act.
