null How I learned to love the LGSL

Last week I wrote about why we're developing two websites; one for council services, the other for information. Because we're writing new guidelines for content and changing the model we use for publishing, it seems an ideal opportunity to not just to review our existing content, but pretty much start again. There’s some great content on our site and some that’s than less than good, which... Voir plus

null Doing digital differently

Yesterday I was lucky enough to hear both Paul MacKay of Nesta and Dominic Campbell the founder of FutureGov speak at the LocalGov Digital Steering Group. Part of the discussion focused around a register of digital development skills and frameworks used by local government. Thinking about the discussion over the past 24 hours, one question comes to mind. Quantifying who does what, how... Voir plus

null What's the purpose of this website?

Marc Snaith recently started a thread on the kHub about website redesign which is timely for me as today we formally launched a project to develop two new websites tasked with delivering digital services and information, to be completed over the next year. For me, the most pertinent question in Marc’s post is “what is the purpose of the website”, and this was the catalyst behind why we’re... Voir plus

null Should Everyone Use Open311?

Last week I posted about how at the moment digital is the preferred channel for reporting broken streetlights, flooding, potholes, fly tipping and so on to us.   Then I read what Tom Steinberg wrote explaining what Open311 is better than I ever could, which got me thinking.   In 2011 I created an Open311 service which is plugged into our Fault Reporting...

null Where's LocalGov Digital?

Where would you base a LocalGov Digital service or network, a practitioner group that's aligned with local government's sector-led improvement agenda?   London? Edinburgh? Manchester? Birmingham?   People often refer to Local Government but in truth they should probably say Local Governments. This is because each Local Government has a unique political make-up,... Voir plus

null Local Gov On The Go

In October we launched the mobile version of our site, you can see it by going to www.westberks.gov.uk on a mobile device or tablet. It’s really a stopgap until we kick off a proposed project to redevelop our digital services, next year. Now we’re in December we’ve got a full month’s stats too look. Here are some of the findings: Volume Around 28% of users accessed our mobile site,... Voir plus

null Why I'm Not Creating A New Google

Over the past couple weeks I’ve been experimenting, creating search functionality based on local public services.  So far I’ve used data from Elgin, Environment Agency, Food Standard Agency, Job Centre Plus, NHS Direct, Ofsted and West Berkshire Council to create alpha.westberks.gov.uk.  The idea is not to create another Google, that's a mistake some make when building new...
