The Guardian Online section reports today that a group of councils in Dorset are to take down their websites and replace them with one over-arching web presence. The newly launched one-stop-site will be operated under the domain name www.dorsetforyou.com.

This intriguing move may be the start of a new presidence. With over 468 local authority websites, numerous Whitehall departmental sites and microsites perhaps Dorset will acheive in a small way what DirectGov has been trying so hard to do: provide a portal of information regardless of who is responsible.
