Are you passionate about delivering great #localgov #digital public services? Then role @WestBerkshire might be for you. westberks.gov.uk/article/42808/…
March 2024 has seen the "Do we need a LocalGDS" debate ignite again, with now eight articles in my compilation for the month. If you've published your views please do let me know and I'll add them too. github.com/LocalGovDigita…
If you've ever encountered a challenging IT issue, spare a thought for the team trying to diagnose a fault in a system launched in 1977, that's currently 24 billion km from Earth. blogs.nasa.gov/sunspot/2024/0…
Job alert! 📢 Service Director – Development & Regulation, West Berkshire Council jobs.localgov.co.uk/job/179022/ser…
We're launching our first #localgov @opendigitalplan service to help those who might want to build in @WestBerkshire find out if they planning permission. It includes innovative features to make it easier to understand some of the planning regulations. westberks.gov.uk/open-digital-p…
Do we need a #LocalGDS, does the free market work, and what's a #localgov #digital tripartite? Read my thoughts on all three and more below. philrumens.blogspot.com/2024/03/local-…
Part of improving the digital customer experience is joining things up, so I'm pleased @pitchbooking were able to implement SSO with our main customer login through @GOSSInteractive platform, to which around 40,000 households have already signed up. pitchbooking.com/blog/sso-singl…
The "Do we need a #LocalGDS" debate is hotting up again 13 years after it started. I posted some links and some thoughts here: linkedin.com/posts/phil-rum…
Things go in cycles, and it looks like the "Do we need a #localGDS" debate is back on. I've added links to two new articles to my compendium on the topic. github.com/LocalGovDigita…
I find this both equally exciting and concerning in respect of how information is created and consumed online. What is your view?

Did anyone else google why Saltburn was filmed in 4:3 aspect ratio?
Great to hear from @PhilRumens of @WBerksDigital speaking about something called AI at #LocalDigital meet up
This is an interesting #localgov approach to encourage residents to go paperless from @NewsNBC. newcastle-staffs.gov.uk/news/article/2… HT to @markssay for the original article which made me aware of this.

As part of our commitment to @opendigitalplan this week @WestBerkshire made four datasets available for public use. It's just the first of many improvements to our #localgov Digital Planning services in 2024. westberks.gov.uk/open-digital-p…
Content designers, we need to talk. Your content is data. Websites will be around in their current form for a while yet, but perhaps it's time to rethink content design, because even if you don't, others already think your content is data. philrumens.blogspot.com/2024/01/your-c…
Does the Service Standard work for #localgov? I summarised my thoughts in the article below, but the TL:DR version is, no. philrumens.blogspot.com/2024/01/does-s…
Two new things new things I love about Christmas. 1⃣ Downloads and streaming have turned the top 40 into a great Xmas playlist. 2⃣ @BBCNews has become @MTV right now, showing @jackxsaunders presenting the Xmas top 40.

Great to see the @LDgovUK blog dluhcdigital.blog.gov.uk/2024/04/10/sca… referencing #OpenReferralUK and #SAVVI. It reinforces the importance of open standards and APIs with funding to help @istanduk and @LGAcomms collaborate with councils.
After nearly 34 yrs of working in public service it's time to hang up my boots this week & begin a new chapter in my life, so I’m taking early retirement. It’s been an incredible ride working with amazing people but now for it's time for even more gigs, sport and breaks away😀
@PhilRumens @benunsworth @LDgovUK It’s being discussed today (you probably know this) at the LGDC.
@PhilRumens @Annie3H @benunsworth @LDgovUK Not at all! It just means we're going to be more targeted with funding, rather than opening up funding rounds to literally all ideas. (Also - welcome, Ben!)

Enjoyed a lovely dog walk from @Shaw_House to the @WatermillTh yesterday...a mixed bag of weather!
Lots of agreement with this for obvious reasons! I also really appreciated the list of other times this has been discussed over the years 🙏
Do we need a #LocalGDS, does the free market work, and what's a #localgov #digital tripartite? Read my thoughts on all three and more below. philrumens.blogspot.com/2024/03/local-…
Fascinating that cookie banners are the focus. They’re a strange by-product of making sure we have appropriate consent for how data is used.
Tackling non-compliant website cookie banners is one of our top priorities. Last week, we hosted a hackathon event with industry leaders to help us tackle how we can monitor and regulate cookie compliance at scale. Watch this space... 🍪
@ICOnews Could I ask which industry leaders took part? Thank you
@PhilRumens A contact app and ability to forward messages. You’ll be using them already I bet but just a lag in telling you they exist. Nothing revolutionary
@BforBen @PhilRumens @WBerksDigital Yes, Phil had some good examples of low-cost, low-risk implementations of AI and even links to open-source JavaScript code that can be used.
Really excited to be going to this local digital meetup 💪 tonight, looking forward to meeting @rachelcoldicutt, @PhilRumens and more to unpick how/whether AI is *really* right for local gov right now. 🤖?
Our next local digital meet-up is this week! To hear from industry leaders from across the sector including Terry Desousa and Samantha Johnston from Greater Cambridge Shared Planning Service, register now: eu1.hubs.ly/H07nkBw0 #FutureOfPublicServices
Great to spend time earlier on @UKAuthority's webinar talking about the impact of AI on #LocalGov Thank you everyone 👏 Plus, v. good questions from the audience. Socitm resources cropped up in the conversation and here are 3 that will come in handy (if they haven't already) ⬇️
