Whilst we all await the central government ICT strategy, Socitm is consulting on the draft ‘Routemap for Local Public Services reform – enabled by ICT‘, which we are now in the final stages of creating.

There are questions throughout the document and Socitm are interested in both answers which address these questions and comments which address any part of the document (or somebody else’s comments).
Let’s try and answer the question ‘what will local government ICT look like in five years time?’ without too much cynicism or irony!
