I don't understand why we have two Bar...Hello,<br /><br />I don't understand why we have two Barnet council websites now. The one I visit (http://www.barnet.gov.uk/) isn't bad. Why another one?<br /><br />I'm guessing this new one is the new way for the resident to interact with the council in future. I don't know about you, but I spend more than enough of my life hunched over a PC as it is; my back is giving out. I think the Barnet council resident engagement portal, or whatever it's meant to be, might be one online experience too many for most residents. It is for me.<br /><br />I notice some features of the new one reminiscent of that dreadful 'ideas' website (the one with the lightbulb): instead of "what I'd change/scrap/pay more for" we have "apply for/pay for/report it now" - so painfully funky I might just faint with excitement.<br /><br />See you at the House of Commons tomorrow evening (Weds 18 April) for the showing of "A Tale of Two Barnets", 7pm in the Wilson Room (get there early to clear security and get a good seat in the front row).<br /><br />VCitizen Barnethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10539991855658960354noreply@blogger.com
