It will have the same address as the council's old site, www.tewkesbury.gov.uk.

    “They have probably done this so that they can get rid of loads of staff. "No you can't see a member of staff about your problem, just visit the website instead, it is really good!"

    Hey presto the taxpayer saves loads of money, but unfortunately unless you are web and computer savvy, the level of service you get will just get worse.”

    “Be interesting to see if this one is kept up to date. Pity they didn't use the money instead to organise more bin collections at christmas. Quite sure the taxpayers would have preferred to get their rubbish taken away than have a facility that is usually out of date and they would hardly ever use.”

    “I wonder who did the revamp?

    I wouldn't have minded the job, I would have done it for £20k and only charged £10k a year for the 'Maintenance' fee.

    Nice work if you can get it...”
