- Abstract
- Neighbourhood offices were established in the municipal of Lund by a decision in the municipal council 1999.

To explain the result of the evaluation I use Vedungs ?A general theory of public efforts result?. When looking at factors as historical background and implementation it becomes apparent that many people se the offices as a compensation for the municipal section committees. The decision to establish neighbourhood offices could be seen as symbolic policy since there is a lack of interest from the politicians in taking further necessary decisions. This, together with the problems of not having neighbourhood offices in the whole municipal, explains the state of the neighbourhood office reform in Lund today. (Less)
