HDC new website?


HDC has announced a NEW website. On today's notice page it says: "Wecome to the new Huntingdonshire District Council Website".

So as it is new I thought I would try this out. This is what I found.

I looked up how many Councillors there currently are? The answer the new site gives is 52 with 37 Conservatives and 2 Non-aligned. This is wrong. Whilst there are 52 Councillors there are 36 Conservatives with 2 UKIP and 1 vacancy. The vacancy is because of Paul Dakers resignation as a Conservative Councillor for the Fenstanton ward.

In the news section I can find no information about Dakers resignation. Nor is there anything informing the residents of Fenstanton about the vacancy.

On the same page there is also a link to Christopher Beazley MEP. Except he isn't a MEP any longer! Also under External links the majority don't work except the one for the Labour MEP which is also the same link as the Liberal Democrats.

This is not good. There shouldn't be teething troubles on a new website as it should have been fully tested before going live. Obviously hasn't been fully tested.
