Overview

The web estate programme has successfully completed the first phase of its work in migrating council websites from SharePoint to LocalGov Drupal. This shift enables better accessibility, security, and editorial control of our websites.

We are now entering phase 2 of the programme, focussing on transforming content, consolidating some websites, and delivering new user-focussed features. This next phase will:

• improve content quality and structure across high-traffic service areas
• streamline and modernise digital directories to ensure residents can find the right help at the right time
• support new service microsites through a structured model, ensuring consistency and cost-efficiency
• continue to reduce the cost and complexity of the council’s web estate while improving user experience and transparency
