The holy grail of regulatory reform is to intervene in ways which produce benefit for business and communities, whilst also reducing the cost of regulatory enforcement to the public purse. The Local Better Regulation Office helped to achieve precisely this kind of win-win-win situation. It established Primary Authority as a success for business and for local authority regulators, and by enabling local regulators to maximise the impact of their interventions and target their own resources on rogues, it produced a win for consumers too. This document is part of LBRO's legacy to record its work and success.

In our second full year of operation as a non-departmental public body we achieved significant and tangible results. Primary Authority became firmly established, especially on the High Street, while our broader work to engage business broke new ground in bringing a business perspective to bear on regulatory reform.

In our first full year of operation as a non-departmental public body, our initiatives produced substantial results. Of most significance was the success of Primary Authority. Two other major milestones were the launch of the Excellence Framework and the publication of our outcomes and impacts toolkit.
