This programme has been aclaimed one of the most successful to come out of the DCLG funded
egovernment programme and the 10 eStandards produced
have become an established part of local government best practice.
The borough has also used GGP's GIS to tie information together with the NLPG property database

that has made a significant improvment in services and delivered marked efficiency gains.
