Re: Hyndburn Borough Council's new website
Disgusted they are using the HTML and Bobby passed logos when the site failes misserably and wouldnt pass either
 you can test the site online and it fails the tests so why are they using the logos to say they have passed ... |

Re: Hyndburn Borough Council's new website
I'm surprised they have not got a mugshot of Britcliffe staring out from the middle of the home page.

New meaning it's still woefully out of date? A search on conservation came back with no information. A search on re-cycling came back with no mention of the newly introduced green textile sacks. The part where we can give our money to the council and pay our council tax appears to work though. Come on. Less soundbites in the local press about how Hyndburn Borough Council is embracing modern technologies, and lets see some evidence.

Re: Hyndburn Borough Council's new website
I always feel I seem to be moaning about HBC, but this 'new' site is as bad and as outdated as the last.
It says Rhyddings Park has tennis facilities. Please note that the nets were removed fifteen years ago. The tarmac has more potholes and a more interesting service than the moon. Anybody trying to find Ossy Mills from the map on the site, which has no roads at all marked but some pretty trees on what I presume is supposed to be Blackburn Road, may as well use a divining rod to find their way there. Other than that, it's really good.....honest.

Re: Hyndburn Borough Council's new website
Its not new as such.. they seem to have all the old content from the last website but plonked it into the same flawed engine that hyndburnlife.co.uk uses ..
it would seem lessons not learnt  |

Re: Hyndburn Borough Council's new website
It would be really funny if you did though. I think it would 'pee' Peter off big style if you were appointed his PA/Assistant.

After a quick perusal it's nowhere I'll be going back to very soon. I wonder how much the 'new' improved website cost?

Re: Hyndburn Borough Council's new website
Quite right garinda.. having a notice saying its not finished yet...really lame. no excuse.. if it isnt finished yet and doesnt pass the criteria to use those passed notices then they still shouldnt be using them... so my original comment stands.. they are in the wrong to use them.. its missleading and disshonest ..
Also as this is a goverment information website and as such a service...they are breaking the law... section 5 of the disability act which has been in place for many years but more recently (relative) became enforceable... if a blind person cannot use the website the same as able boded people then they can be presceuted. and believe me a blind reader will fall over wiht that website they should let proffesionals make and run the website. |
