Lewisham Community Information

Post by admin »

Anybody know what has happened to the Lewisham Community Information website http://www.lewishamonline.info?

The DNS is badly broken and has been for sometime. I'm surprised they haven't noticed and fixed it as the site was heavily promoted by the council as their portal for community information - even if it never featured us!

You can still see a picture of it here as it was in July: http://whois.sc/lewishamonline.info

I have emailed the admin contact (Lorraine Trenchard) but most of my emails to Lewisham Council disappear into a blackhole so I'm not counting on an answer ...

BTW it has no connection with http://www.lewishamonline.co.uk/ - a working Lewisham Community Resource which doesn't cost the taxpayer a penny ...

Lewisham have confirmed that their community portal was quietly cancelled six months after launch.

Documents on the web suggest it cost at least £250,000 of taxpayers money to develop. Apparently Lewisham don't do communities anymore ...
