As many people will have read in last week's Comet, we have just launched Kingston Council's new web site. It is now much clearer and easier to use.

At http://www.kingston.gov.uk you can access many important services.

You can pay bills, report problems such as graffiti or abandoned cars, or look at the council's job vacancies.

There is also a huge amount of useful information, such as planning applications, the minutes of committee meetings and the latest council news.

We have been working very hard to open up the council through initiatives such as the new neighbourhood help desks and street information points.

To complement these initiatives, the new site should make it easier than before to find the information you need.
