Ryedale website remains a winner!
Ryedale District
Council’s website is amongst the best in the country.
In the latest national
annual of council websites published by the Society of Information
Technology Management (Socitm), Ryedale District Council’s
continues to be amongst the best in the country.
“Ryedale District Council
always tries to provide where possible as much information and
services around the clock by encouraging residents and visitors to
make applications and find information on the website,” said Cllr
John Raper, IT Champion for Ryedale District Council.
“As with many other
things in life, national statistics demonstrate that dealing with
any service online can be faster, done when convenient to the
citizen and reduce costs to the provider. So Ryedale District
Council encourages people, where possible, to use its web
site.“
One of the latest
developments with the website is a new public access system which
has gone live this week.
The system allows residents and external consultees to
- view applications on-line
- view plans and associated documents
- comment on applications on-line
- track an application and be updated on the application
status
- search on a map for any recent permissions
- do address searches
“More than 150, 000 visits were paid to the Ryedale
District Council site in 2009,” added Cllr Raper.
“We continually seek the feedback of users to help us improve
the service and the planning facility is one of the services that
has been requested. I am sure it will make a vital boost for
website users.”
