  • An analysis of councillors websites

    The drive for individual councillors?’ websites has emerged as part of a top-down initiative from Government. Some councils have already provided this facility for their councillors but are finding that take-up is slow and that encouraging councillors to use the sites is hard work. This paper explores why that is and what can be done to overcome their reluctance. Produced by ICELE

  • Case study - North East London regional partnership - Integrated Electronic Democracy

    Abstract: IEDISS (Integrated Electronic Democracy Information and Support Service) was developed and implemented by the North-East London Partnership (NELP), made up of six London Boroughs (Newham, Barking & Dagenham, Havering, Redbridge, Tower Hamlets and Waltham Forest). One of the more fundamental aims of the partnership was to meet the requirements of e-Government priority outcome R5: ?‘Local Authorities must provide online facilities for public access to reports, minutes and agendas from previous council meetings?’ through bedding in a new and comprehensive e-Democracy system for North-East London. However, the scope of the project goes further than that. IEDISS streamlines the processes supporting Councillors?’ decision-making and increases accountability and transparency. The major innovation has been in ambition ?– IEDISS covers all aspects of the processes by which Councillors make decisions ?– and in approach ?– the benefits of partners working together have been exploited to the full.
