Local Authorities must become Stewards of the Connected Community
We believe Local Authorities must see beyond the use of the web as a delivery channel for their messages and services, and move towards embracing it as a collaborative social space. This is not simply a matter of implementation, but also requires new formulations of purpose, meaning, relationship and responsibility.
- We believe that Local Authorities must become Stewards of the Connected Community for two key reasons:
- To stay relevant to civic life and avoid becoming nothing more than a service broker & provider.
We believe it has a duty to act in the best interests of its citizens and protect the community from being connected only in ways that benefit the commercial market.
