e-Democracy & e-Petitions

Web-Labs assist local government officers in the administration, publishing and decision making activities associated with Committee Meetings

Local Councils are under pressure to reduce cost and improve communications with the public in addition the Local Government Act 2000 has imposed a time limit on publishing agendas and minutes so any system that speeds the production of the publishing process could assist Local Government staff.

The Act also introduces scrutiny committees and decision call-in so a system that caters for this added complexity would also benefit .the democratic service staff.

The traditional activity of producing Agendas, Minutes and the publication of the Committee Meetings are effective but labour intensive. The advent of electronic document storage and easy publishing to web sites means that this activity would generally benefit from the deployment of these new technologies to speed the process, lower coast and provide a comprehensive service to the public and elected members.

Web-Labs has in conjunction with several Local Government customers developed ‘Committee Master’ a web browser based and fully integrated solution to meet all aspects of the Local Government Act and assist local government officers to administer and publish all aspects Committee Meetings

Web-Labs also provides as part of the Committee Master solution all the functionality to enable Local Authorities to meet all the Priority Outcomes relevant to Democratic Services.
