Institute for eGovernment

Councils are to get a internet television channel dedicated to delivering broadcasts on e-government, the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister has said. The channel, which will offer its first broadcast on 22 September 2003, aims to help local authorities reach their e-government targets.

The first programme, titled "Delivering 2005", will be broadcast at 3pm on 22 September and will feature an interview with the ODPM's e-government minister Phil Hope. There will also be a "Question Time" style panel discussion involving organisations such as the Improvement and Development Agency, the Society for IT Management and the Society for Local Authority Chief Executives.

"Local authorities are achieving some encouraging successes in the local e-government programme but it is vital that these succeses can be shared to help all local authorities achieve the 2005 targets," Hope said.

"This unique initiative from eGovernment-Vision.TV will provide an effective medium for sharing best practice, enabling local authorities to learn from the progress made in areas such as National Projects."
