Be careful not to create things that the members aren't going to use. For example there is nothing worse than creating an email address for someone, members of the public using it to try and get in touch and then no one checking it and sending out replies. The online calendar could also be a nightmare unless EVERYONE checks it regularly.

In the past I've given up using online shared calendars and gone back to a paper diary due to not everyone being on board. I now use an amazing online rota system that can be accessed using a broad range of ways (iPhone app, mobile web, Facebook app etc) but even then some of my tech savvy 18 year old staff don't all use it and some just check the print version *sigh*

I wouldn't create an email address for anyone who wouldn't use it, (any emails sent to the council address would be forwarded on to personal email accounts) and the calendar would need read receipts so I would know who had seen any updates made and so could be given a copy of the updates in paper form.

[/QUOTE]What happens if the person twiddling with the website falls under a bus / trips over a recycling bin / has a blazing row with all their colleagues and resigns in disgust / is removed from the council for dishonesty or scandal / isn't re-elected?

More to the point, what happens when any of those last 3 happen, and the person twiddling with the website uses it to publish 'the truth' as they see it about what's really going on? [/QUOTE]

Once I have all this set up properly I would show the clerk and deputy clerk exactly how it works, how to do the updates and they would then be in control, so the councillors themselves have no control over the site, it would then be between them to keep everything updated, the clerks are not members of the council and are paid members of staff who control everything like this and would hand over in the proper way to anyone who then came in to take on those job roles.

The little button with pink and orange speech bubbles, to the right of the "quote" button. Click on it for each post you want to include and then press the quote button for the last one.
