New feedback portal well received
In short, web traffic has increased significantly, there has been an explosion in news readership, and naturally, demand for information about events has dropped off, as few events have been held this year. The analysis reveals that New feedback portal has been very well received and the number of general enquiries is increasing significantly. It is interesting to see that traffic from smart devices (phones and tablets) has now surpassed that from conventional computers. As ever, the reading of minutes remains the most sought-after content, followed by The Neighbourhood Web TV where residents and others access drawings and other useful information about the municipality, planning, services and the environment.
