It’s been a little more than a month since the Birmingham City Council launched its own website – one that was determined to make it easier for residents with digital access to be better informed about what was happening on the third floor of City Hall.

While there is still not a link to the new site from the city’s main website as of this post going live, the new online home for all things involving the City of Birmingham (a product of  CivicPlus) is also introducing us to additional ways to connect with the Council. These include a fan page on Facebook and a Twitter account, CC_Birmingham. There was activity on all of these platforms through April 18, though it seemed to have temporarily stopped since then. They’ve also provided a link to a landing page for video archives of council meetings (ones currently posted are from February).

Time will tell how this resource will be used by the council and the people they represent…
