We’re a network for digital practitioners in local government with an aim to raise standards in web provision and the use of digital by councils across the country, and to create a digital framework that is flexible enough to respond to local needs

People who do digital stuff, in or around local government.

Why it came about...

It came from frustration from myself and Sarah Lay (Nottinghamshire County Council).

A response to the Government Digital Service and GOV.UK. Recognition of the patchy quality in local sector.

Why not make things better together?
