People must be able to subscribe to, and be notified of, events, information and changes that are important to them.
For example whenever a certain topic is debated in a council meeting or if a local panel is convened. The website should record a citizen’s or business’ preferences and interests and inform them that there is new, relevant information. Users must be able to control the types of information that they receive. They can select very specific subject matters. There should be a menu of channels to receive this information so Email, SMS, RSS, instant messenger and social media notification should all be available for users to opt in to.
