520	3		_aThis article examines the implementation of the directly elected mayor (mayor) in England. Following a short examination of the history of the mayoralty, the article addresses the impact of the 2000 Local Government Act. Introduced by a reforming Blair administration, the Act sought to radically transform the ways in which local government in England operated and introduced the concept of the mayor. As we shall see, the introduction of the mayor has not been without its problems. Despite these initial teething difficulties, it has nevertheless provided opportunities to demonstrate what can be achieved by this radical innovation. Finally, the article speculates about what the future might hold given the White Paper on local government leadership that was published in late 2006
