Re: Why build a new site for Birmingham City Council?

Hi!

Sorry, yes. Was a bit hit and run!

Typing in my postcode "B3 1DW" just brought up an error message,
although I'm afraid I can't remember what that was. Sorry. I'd be
useless in a proper coding environment. But now when I do it you are
quite right it works perfectly! And it looks much nicer than the
official version. So either you have fixed things or it's some occasion
error. I'll keep trying it and make a proper note if it happens again!

Fully appreciate you haven't written any content at all. Think it is a
really, really interesting content. I wondered when you might want to do
something about it for Midlands Today? Obviously Friday is the best day
I suspect but I'll be off on another story. Do people gather video
content at these sort of events we could use in a piece?

Impressive effort but it doesn't actually work. Postcode search for B3 1DW doesn't work and searching for Environmental Health only brings up Air Quality. When I actually wanted contact details.
To compare... finding a way to complain about the council emptying a bottle bank outside my house at 5.45am too seconds. I could find a way to do it on your website.
Still early days. And I'll be really interested in how the project goes. I wonder if it might make something for Midlands Today when it's a bit more reliable?
