Understanding Society - Winter 2009 Winter 2009 Public services have improved considerably in recent years but, as we know, the public response to this is often to quickly ‘bank’ any improvements and then raise their expectations once again.

The winter edition of Understanding Society, the newsletter from Ipsos MORI’s Social Research Institute, considers some of the ways in which central and local government can respond to the challenge of continuing to meet public expectations when public finances face their tightest squeeze for decades.
