Why are the Area Management Boards not given any revenue budget but the Area Management Councils are?
What is the difference between the two?
I understand that Neighbourhood Management Boards are to cease and be subsumed into the Area Councils. Graham Jones made rather a success of his local NMB and managed to secure more money than Peter Britcliffe could get his own hands on, leading to certain changes.

From speaking to councillors on Neighbourhood Management Boards they worked perfectly well. Another of the Britcliffe control-freak legacies.
