FREEDOM 4

Milton Keynes

DC News_(314K) FREEDOM 4 Milton Keynes Connect MK is taking action to bring WiMAX broadband services to residents and SMEs in Milton Keynes, entering into partnership with FREEDOM4, the wireless broadband provider.

The programme is encouraging the building of new broadband infrastructures in Milton Keynes. This has enabled Connect MK to partner with Leon School and Sports College as well as its feeder schools to help provide broadband services to school children and their families free of charge, a move that is hoped will foster improvements in educational attainment.

Discussion paper

Transforming Local Government

e-champion - egovunit

Transforming Local Government_(427K) This paper aims to trigger a conversation across local government about what 'transformed local government', supported by modern ICT, should look like. The paper is based on the Cabinet Office's 'Transformational Government, Enabled by Technology', which was published in late 2005 and identified the key challenges of: designing services around the citizen or business; moving to a shared service culture, releasing efficiencies through standardisation, simplification and sharing; and improving government's ability to plan and deliver ICT-enabled change

Transformational Government

August 2006

The Government published 'Transformational Government, Enabled by Technology' in November 2005. It set out the Government's vision for a long-term transformation of public services to provide efficient, effective services that citizens want. The scale of the change, as set out in the strategy, will not be completed overnight. The broad timing for three phases of work spanning the next eighteen months, the period to 2011 and beyond was set out in its 'Timetable for Change'. The implementation plan takes this a step further and focuses on the immediate priorities to mid 2007.
