Lambeth Council are building and want input from residents about what you think about the current website and also the new site that is being developed.
This is a collaborative and cooperative project which will include residents and businesses in the development and shaping of a website for the borough.
Rather than spending months building the site and then launching it in a big bang, the new site is being built step by step, bit by bit, and making it better as it goes along. This means there will be two sites live at the same time, the new test site (also known as an alpha site) at http://dev.lambeth.coop as well as www.lambeth.gov.uk, the current Lambeth website. The council will be listening to your suggestions and continuously improving the new site and eventually the old site will be shut down.
If you want any up to date information on Lambeth Council services always visit www.lambeth.gov.uk as all the content on http://dev.lambeth.coop is draft information.
There is lots of work to be done on deciding what the site is for and this is difficult when there are so many site users with so many different needs – the Lambeth.gov.uk website had more than 190,000 unique visitors to the site in September alone – looking at over 3,000 pages of information.
So please get in touch with the council and tell them what you think of their current website? 
Why do they need a website and what sort of information would you like to see on it? What do you find most useful on the current site? What is most frustrating? What one thing would you change?
If you have any thoughts on this, or anything else, then please get in touch:
- Leave a comment on the blog at www.madeinlambeth.co.uk where you can also read more about the project
- Email the team at webteam@lambeth.gov.uk
- Come along to one of the drop-in sessions at Brixton Library on Friday 2 and Friday 9 November, between 11am-1pm (more sessions to be arranged)
