The 20 best UK local authority websites 2015

Does your council appear on this year’s list of top performing council websites produced by Socitm?

The professional body for public sector ICT professionals produces the list from ratings given by a panel of reviewers.

Four factors contribute to the Better Connected star ranking of a council website:

  • The number of customer journeys for top tasks that meet the Better connected standard according to type of council);
  • The number of usability criteria that meet the Better connected standard (navigation of top tasks, use of search engine, use of A to Z index, accessibility) – maximum of four;
  • The overall reviewer rating – from 1 (poor) to 3 (very good)
  • The mobile assessment: four star sites only must achieve the mobile standard

See if your council’s website is among this year’s top sites (years in brackets refer to councils’ last appearance on the list). Sites appear in alphabetical order – click through to view the websites.

    Thanks for the thoughts you have discussed here. On top of that, I believe there are a few factors that really keep your motor insurance premium down. One is, to contemplate buying motors that are from the good set of car insurance firms. Cars which have been expensive are definitely more at risk of being snatched. Aside from that insurance coverage is also in line with the value of your vehicle, so the costlier it is, then the higher the particular premium you spend.

    One thing is that often one of the most common incentives for making use of your credit card is a cash-back and also rebate offer. Generally, you’re going to get 1-5 back for various expenditures. Depending on the cards, you may get 1 again on most expenses, and 5 back on expenses made going to convenience stores, filling stations, grocery stores as well as ‘member merchants’.
