Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM)

The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM) was a department in the UK government focused on community and regional development, local government, and various public services. Established in 2001, it aimed to improve living standards and support sustainable development across the country. The Deputy Prime Minister, as the head of this office, coordinated efforts between different government departments and local authorities to address issues like housing, planning, and public safety. The ODPM was eventually dissolved in 2006, with its functions redistributed to other departments.
