East Riding of Yorkshire Council has proudly launched its innovative, engaging and ongoing Digital East Riding strategy which is focused on supporting residents, local businesses and communities in the region.
Digital East Riding’s vision is to achieve more by using technology whilst ensuring council services are responsive to meet the differing needs of its citizens.
A spokesperson for the council said;
“We are thrilled to launch Digital East Riding as it is going to take us on a journey where we can deliver our services in a different way. It will benefit our residents directly, delivering our promises to the East Riding and helping us move forward as a council.
“With our ‘digital commitment’, and in particular Digital Customer, we can continue to protect the vulnerable by using technology, helping people to live in their homes for longer using smart technology, such as embedded sensors.
“Likewise, through Digital Place we can help support our local businesses to thrive and help protect the local environment by using new digital technologies.
“And of course, we can continually meet our residents’ expectations where we can provide advice and guidance, along with the facilities to report issues and book and pay for services online, twenty-four seven.”
A dedicated ‘Digital East Riding Website’ outlines the council’s digital vision and includes a news section for visitors to check regular updates on developments as they unfold. There are also opportunities for residents and businesses to send thoughts and questions through a feedback portal.
It will also include the many burgeoning success stories as the digital strategy is put into action, to help the council along its way towards a digital future for the region.
Head of digital, change and technology at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, says that above all the council want to deliver the services and infrastructure that residents need in order to live happy, healthy lives for the years to come.
