News

Taking the web across the Borough

Residents of Poole are being targeted by a new bus back campaign, aiming to show residents how much they can find out and do on the Council’s website:- boroughofpoole.com.

From today, these brightly coloured slogans will be splashed across the back of the Wilts and Dorset buses travelling through Poole. They will display information on how to gain access to information on libraries; road works; council news, from members profiles to minutes of meetings; how to get News Direct to your inbox plus much more.

Boroughofpoole.com is updated daily and is continually improving as an informative interactive service for residents, including online payments and access to the Discussion board which is designed for discussions about Poole and the local services the Council provides.

Councillor Neil Sorton, Cabinet Portfolio Holder for Resources, said: "The development of the website has gone from strength to strength since its restructuring earlier this year and it is important that we promote the good work that is happening. As part of this it is essential that we keep residents informed of the latest developments. We hope that more and more residents feel comfortable with accessing boroughofpoole.com for their council enquires."

Christine Banfield, New Media Officer, Borough of Poole, said: "Our website is becoming more and more familiar to residents since the introduction of the borough’s Smart Cars, which have proved a great way to promote it while being more economical with council travel too! Surveys with Poole Opinion Panel members have shown that 38% are beginning to use the website to find out the latest council news but the research also shows that residents are not clear about what they can find and do through the website. The bus campaign is a brightly coloured fun promotion aimed at showing residents just how much our site can do."
