QUOTE (Jayjay @ Sep 17 2010, 10:21 AM) I cannot find any law on delivery lorries on pavements. These massive vehicles bump up the kerbs, crack the slabs and the pavement starts to subside. The tax payer then pays for repairs. Surely the rules for cars would be the same for lorries, whether delivery or not.

These are up and coming roadworks not current ones, however if you think it would be useful to see roadworks currently in progress I'll look at creating a page that shows this data.

Yes, you're right it's not showing what it should. We get this data from Elgin, so I've emailed them to see if they've lost their marbles.

I used to work as a radio presenter full time, and the info you get sent is probably the same. Some of it is out of date, and some of it just doesn't actually exist!!! Good to see that West Berks are getting involved in social media, I think that is fast becoming one of the most important tools for reaching those who have no interest in reading the local paper or a forum like this. Great idea in principle, and when the bugs are fixed I'm sure it will become a very usefull tool.

Thanks Richard. I don't think there's another council in the country that offers the range of information we do on our Facebook and Twitter pages, I've included the full list below. Some councils have appointed Social Media Officers at a cost to residents however thanks to way we've set them up it doesn't take officers any extra time to add content to our social media pages, it's all automatic when it's added to our website. Content on our Facebook pagecar park closures care home information council vacancies event information flood alerts leisure centre info library closures roadwork information rubbish collection and information about the tip schools closures general, leisure and libraries news from the council

QUOTE (Phil @ Sep 22 2010, 10:53 AM) If you or anyone else has any queries about our Website I'll be happy to try and answer them in this thread. I've set my account on here up to email me when someone replies so I don't have to keep checking it.
Being a programmer in IT with responsibility for website development I can only reply to topics on this subject so please don't ask about anything else, I'm not qualified to give an answer so won't. Well one suggestion I would make is can we have a window on the website home page that shows any current consultations that are taking place on the website? Or maybe have it as a "happening now" window?
