http://www.european-services-strategy.org.uk/outsourcing-ppp-library/equalities-and-social-justice-impacts/ealing-council-putting-public-services-at-risk/ Between 1990 and 1994, Ealing council under conservative control undertook an aggressive strategy of commercialising its public services, taking privatisation and commercialisation to extreme lengths and leaving a lasting legacy of unemployment, low levels of service provision and accountability, and a huge budget deficit. This report documents the devastating nature of such policies, and offers a textbook example of the risks of privatisation and externalisation of public services.
