Thanks for the link to the innovators of this idea. Sounds like they approached the Chamber of Commerce who approached the Council.

This says it all;
Buying goods or services from local businesses online FAILED
Joining online community activities such as discussion groups FAILED
Making reservations at leisure facilities FAILED
Links to paying council tax or reserving places on further education courses FAILED
Booking appointments to see a health visitor FAILED

The e-govt thing is confusing because it is largely about innovation in delivering services and products electronically, discretion is largely given to each area to decide in different ways which way it can achieve this. I am sure most authorities will be doing some/mots of these inhouse at a fraction of the cost. Like I said before, The Councils cash crises has resulted in considerable cuts. IT have 7 out of 13 staff.
