Back to work

Well, I had the short break, but not for those reasons; and it was in the wettest bit of France!

The ansaphone at home had picked up one personal case (a secondary school admissions appeal - the season for those is just upon us). The Head of IT Strategy decided to phone my mobile instead... for a looong time (at Euro-roaming rates)... and explain further about the website cock-up... and tell me that Mayor Steve has been on his back too about IT for councillors, and "would he set up some meetings with Cllr John Paschoud to discuss/resolve" (i.e. don't annoy him about it any more)... He suggested we should include review of public-facing web content in this, too.

Poor Simon! I don't really want to be his worst nightmare, and there is scope to make a few things better. Paul Bentley (LibDem councillor in Lee Green) left a supportive comment to an earlier post on this, and I'll have to think (or ask Ron) about what the PC way of consulting non-Labour councillors would be.
