Annotation	Community well-being and new approaches to reinvigorating partnership working for older people's services are considered. The particular focus of this article is on improving transport for older people. The authors draw on findings from a series of consultations, group discussions and interviews with older people in 10 purposively selected local authorities in England. These consultations informed the joint local inspections undertaken by the Healthcare Commission, the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) and the Audit Commission. Although there was great diversity in the issues raised by older people on the subject of transport, both across and between sites, the authors point to a number of core analytical themes which could assist commissioners in developing a citizens' framework designed to tackle this particular issue.
