Council's winning website strikes again
Our website is celebrating being commended in the prestigious
Avenza Awards for Electronic Mapping.
Already officially rated as the best district website in the
country, the council's winning web pages are continuing to go from
strength to strength.
Working closely with Global Mapping UK, the council's Planning
Policy team have developed and improved the Local Plan area of the website - making it
more accessible and user friendly.
As a result of this hard work the website has now been commended by
The British Cartographic Society in the Avenza Award for Electronic
Mapping.
Cllr Ian Grant, Portfolio Holder for Planning, said: "Well done to
our hard working planning team who have worked diligently alongside
Global Mapping to achieve a Local Plan website that not only holds
lots of useful, relevant information but that is, most importantly,
easy to use."
Cllr Adrian Owens, Portfolio Holder for e-government, said: "The
Council is committed to providing customer services that are second
to none and increasingly the quickest and most convenient way for
people to engage with the council is through our website and online
services.
"Receiving a commendation for the Local Plan area of the website
underlines the commitment that all our staff have to ensuring that
all areas of the website are offering the best possible service to
our customers."
