Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Top rating for Haringey Council website
Haringey’s website has been ranked in the top five per cent of all council websites in the UK.
The recently improved website earned a four-star rating, the highest available, from consultancy SOCITM.
The annual ‘Better Connected’ report – which examines the quality and performance of all local authority websites – has seen a rise in local authorities achieving an excellent rating. Haringey was one of just four London boroughs to earn a place in the national top 20.
The rating follows a re-vamp of the website to make it more accessible and user-friendly for visitors.
The Haringey website rated well in helping users to
- apply for a council job
- object to a planning application
- pay council tax
- find out about getting help at home
- find our school term dates
The site was also praised for its sections on rubbish collection information; library book renewal; information on winter gritting routes; local democracy, and its use of mobile technology.
In its overall summary of Haringey’s website, the SOCITM reviewer said:
“I can see that a real effort has been made to introduce a design and structure based around top tasks, and it has made my review very straightforward. Well done!

I do regularly use council websites - all across the country - when doing research, and Haringay's is one of the best. Credit due where credit is due!

Also, SOCITIM is far from being toothless. If they say we're rubbish we do something about it.

Sounds like they can be quite critical then. Perhaps independent watchdog isn't so far off?
