Website and email — together
A statutory site and a council mailbox, from the same record.
Clerks already buy a website and some form of mail. Those two bills are why a single council system does not feel like software on top. Clerk Assist publishes the papers the public already has a right to see, and puts [email protected] on a domain the council owns.
The website is not a blank CMS
Meetings, agendas, minutes, councillor names, contacts and policies come from the same login as the cashbook and the diary. Colours and wording from a short question set.
- Pages the Transparency Code already expects
- Accessibility and cookie rules designed in
- .gov.uk capable, council owns the domain
- Agendas and minutes without a second system
Email that survives the clerk
Assertion 10 asks for a generic mailbox on an authority-owned domain. Personal accounts leave with the person. They also fail FOI and a clean handover.
- Clerk or office address on the council domain
- A small number of councillor aliases included
- UK-hosted mail, searchable with the rest of the record
- Extra boxes only if the council wants them
Council-specific, not a generic host
Website firms already do sites and mail. They do not run the precept year. Here the public site is the published face of work the clerk is already doing.
This page does not publish prices. Migration, .gov.uk pairing and mailbox counts can be written in a meeting paper when a slot is in view.
