PROBING QUESTIONS INTO WEBSITE FAILURE

Residents in Haringey are regularly being prevented from accessing information about Haringey Council due its long-running website problems, according to Cllr Jonathan Bloch who hopes to get answers from the Council on Monday.

Cllr Bloch, along with many residents, has been unable to access the Council’s website regularly since the beginning of January. He is concerned that many people who need to access information on Council-run services often can’t get access.

At Monday’s Full Council he expects an explanation as to why the website has been inaccessible for so long and what they plan to do to prevent this happening again.

Cllr Bloch (Muswell Hill) comments:

“We are keen to get to the bottom of this website debacle. It is essential that the Council reassures residents that this kind of failure will not reoccur, and that adequate back up procedures are in place in the event of the site going down.”
