Just finished the grunt-work for my summer research-project! Preliminary results:
| Number of CC areas in LA schemes | 1372 |
| Number of active CCs | 1017 |
| Number of active CCs that have ever had any form of online presence | 650 |
| Number of active CCs that have up-to-date online presence | 316 |
| Update-frequency for CCs that have up-to-date online presences |
|
| Content (for any CCs that have ever had online presences) |
|
| Hosts/types (for any CCs that have ever had online presences) |
|
| Social media |
|
There are varying amounts of salt to be taken with the above:
- I’m waiting for 22 (out of 32) Local Authorities to confirm numbers of CCs in their schemes and the numbers of these that really are active.
- I’ve not searched for Facebook and Twitter accounts, just noted data that came up in googling for CCs or appeared on CC websites.
Now to try to find out
- why those active CCs that ‘do’ online do it in the ways they’ve chosen
- why those CCs that don’t ‘do’ online don’t!
Why over a quarter of CCs may not exist in the first place is someone else’s problem. I am surprised that so few CCs mention planning – their sole statutory ‘duty’. I hope this isn’t a reflection of what they actually do!
