What do the terms social networking and Web 2.0 mean to you? People wasting their time looking at Facebook? A security threat? A risk to the organisation’s reputation? Something that Redbridge Council is doing that Better connected 2008 first and then the Audit Commission applauded with its ‘ground-breaking interactive website’?

Council websites: helping citizens help themselves. Cutting the number of unnecessary contacts a citizen has with their council is now a stated aim of government policy, and it makes sense all round: improving efficiency, cutting costs and ensuring the citizen receives the help and information they need at the first port of call. Council websites can play a central role in achieving this goal, but they need to understand what users want from them. Event jointly organised by Socitm Insight and E-Government Bulletin.
