The Directgov website encourages citizens to use Local Authority services online by guiding them to appropriate transaction and information web pages on Local Authority websites. Local Directgov technology makes this possible.
Local Directgov is an innovative project that over the last year has made a reality of joined up government. The project has successfully demonstrated that, with the same vision local and central government can work together for the benefit of all citizens.
Take-up of online services can:
· improve efficiency of service delivery and reduces the expense of personal
contact channels
· increase citizen/communities awareness of services offered on the internet
by Local Authorities
· simplify government for citizens/communities, be it local government or
central government
· reduce citizen frustration with complex governmental organisations and
agencies
· increase accessibility
· increase inclusion
Local Directgov has also delivered Good Practice Guidance for Online Transactions and Services for Local Authority Web Managers as part of the Usability project. This cd provides step by step guides to help web managers identify the key areas needed to ensure a user-friendly website that is suited to their customers' needs. This in turn provides an engaging online experience for customers interacting with local government.
