Local Government

Like the rest of the public sector, there is a major drive within Local Authorities to engage more effectively with the people who belong to, live or work in the community, giving back control and power to the general public. Key to this objective is the ability to enable people to:

Voice their opinion and influence the decisions and policies that are being made on their behalf (Duty to Involve)
Access relevant information and processes in a cost-effective method that is convenient to the individual (Freedom of Information / Citizen Self-Service / Avoidable Contact)

Limehouse Software is used extensively by local government organisations to embrace these requirements and to streamline the process of policy and strategy development. Our collaborative environment brings together users, contributors, publishing and delivery services and facilitates the involvement of stakeholders through real-time collaboration and consultation with communities.With the average authority having over 2,900 live documents at any one time, of which around 10% are statutory documents that require public consultation, our solutions are ideal for streamlining the creation, consultation and production process of all documentation including:
