Local Government Reorganisation

  • We are working collaboratively with all Lancashire authorities to develop a submission to Government in November.
  • An important part of this collaboration will include developing a proposal for engagement with residents and stakeholders.
  • We will of course keep staff informed as and when there are any developments.

New county council website

  • Work is well under way with building a new Umbraco CMS (the back-end Content Management System) for the county council website.
  • Our aim is to create an inclusive and engaging website for all customers that will enable everyone to efficiently access our services and self-serve where appropriate.
  • We’re now moving into the next phase of our improvement plan, which will involve moving content to the new CMS.
  • As a result, we’ll only be making business-critical updates to the current website which will allow our web team to focus fully on developing the new site.
  • If you’re responsible for adding content to the website, the web team will have contacted you directly. Please check any webpages you manage to ensure that the information is accurate and up to date.
  • We expect the new site it to go live later this year.
  • If you are responsible for website content and haven’t been contacted by the web team, please email: webteam@lancashire.gov.uk.
