This caught my eye this week - a “story” that could have perhaps done with a bit more reporting.
The UK government has a whopping 951 websites designed to help the public with information and enquiries. However after a government review more than half of these websites are set to close.
The government plans to close 551 of their websites “to make access to information easier” for web users and save money, which could be as high as £9 million a year.
Only 26 are definitely going to stay with the majority of them being main departmental websites. The rest are to be reviewed more closely and many of them could be shut down.
The UK government’s information online will be focused through two Directgov and Business Link and many of the closed sites will be transferred to the two sites.
