Is there a great digital service elsewhere in local gov that your council wants to adapt and resuse? Do you want to work with one or more other councils to fix a common local gov digital challenge? Do you want to access top quality GDS digital training?

Interesting article about the history and ambition of Government as a Platform. I always enjoy a good Victorian engineering metaphor, and in this case Crossness pumping station is perhaps the literal example of #localdigital’s #fixtheplumbing 😉

Today Kevin Cunnington spoke at Public Sector Digital Midlands highlighting how GDS is giving public sector workers the skills they need to transform services and drive innovation through the GDS Academy.

Super pleased for my bro Tom Raines and the Chatham House team - very well deserved! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Ooh...! Updated Pipeline service is live!! Great work LocalGov Digital Nic Teeman & all involved. 😃 Now it's up to us all to make sure we publish the projects we're thinking about, planning and delivering so that we can catalyse collaboration across the sector. #LocalDigital

Just hit 10,000 digital prescription pre-payment certs via #notify GDS since launch on Monday. That's 10k less plastic cards #noplastic #ppc #nhs

We're looking for a technical writer to join GOV.UK/PAY Take a look at our current documentation docs.payments.service.gov.uk Let me know if you're interested.

Great to see the first 100 services using GOV.UK Pay. Thanks to all the local authorities who are helping accelerate the take up. #FixThePlumbing

GOV.UK Pay now integrated with the Department for Transport Blue Badge Digital Service. A great example of cross-gov working with GDS and our delivery partner valtech_ for the benefit to be hopefully realised for #LocalGov and our applicants 🙌🏻
