Hope all is well - though sounds like it is. Redbridge are incresaingly being held up as an exemplar in the Web 2.0 world as applied to citizenn engagement - well deserved in my opinion!

We have recently completed amajor consultation on our capital investment programme that generated over 5000 responses to a 'forced choice' decision tool called 'You Choose' (www.redbridge.gov.uk/conversation)- ie tell what to spend money on, but also tell us how to raise that money (taxes, charges, sell assets) - and, as in life, they have to balance! Two-thirds of responses were online, the rest through a more conventional paper consultation. YoGov are analysing results and have been positive about data quality and representatvieness, dispite concerns about digital inclusion. Redbridge i has pre-moderated forums. We are currently reviewing policy on this, mindful about your 'reputational risks' issue. We have plans to develop an ultralocal version of Redbridge to be used as a community platform (Pledgebank, local budgeting, volunteering etc). Pre-moderation won't be possible if this takes off. I'd be interested to hear your of others experience of making the switch and managing the fallout. Thanks for the mention of Redbridge i in your ITAdvisor article.
