We’re really excited to be expanding on our work with Thames Valley Housing. We’re now helping to run an online service to pay rent, log, and track repairs.

It’s over 3 months now since I joined dxw. Having spent a lot of that time encouraging my colleagues to blog more, it’s about time that I did.

I attended LocalGovDigitalCamp in Manchester, where dxw was one of the sponsors. The event was for local authorities interested in digital transformation.

We’ve seen many examples of people doing transformative work, but often the space they’re given to operate in is messy and vague.

The Ministry of Housing Communities and Local Government recently published their Local Digital Declaration and it’s had a really encouraging response.

Fast growth is tough. It’s uneven. It brings lots of challenges and frustrations but you’re also excited about what comes next.
