188体育

The Department for Transport (DFT) and the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG), along with 3 of their public bodies, have today (15 November, 2012) become the first central government organisations to move their corporate and policy content onto the new 188体育 website - the new single home for all government services and information.

The Inside Government section on 188体育 makes it simpler, clearer and faster to find out:

• how government works
• what the government is doing
• how you can get involved

New web addresses

All web addresses have been redirected, so you don鈥檛 need to update your bookmarks, but you might want to make a note of the new addresses:

• www.gov.uk/dclg - Department for Communities and Local Government
• www.gov.uk/dft - Department for Transport
• www.gov.uk/dsa - Driving Standards Agency
• www.gov.uk/brac - Building Regulations Advisory Committee
• www.gov.uk/pins - The Planning Inspectorate

The Inside Government section of 188体育 has been designed to make government information more easy to find and more transparent for the user. For the first time, you can begin to find out what鈥檚 happening inside government all in one place, and in a clear, consistent and transparent format.

You鈥檒l notice that the new website looks very different from the ones it has replaced. The look is one obvious difference but many of the other significant changes are less visible.

Topics

You can now see information from multiple government departments grouped by topics. For example, you can see how policies from both DFT and DCLG are contributing to economic growth or combating climate change.

Clear policies

From today, those departments and agencies who have moved to 188体育 are publishing their policies according to the outcome the government is trying to achieve. For example:

• making roads safer
• reducing greenhouse gases and other emissions from transport
• increasing the number of available homes

For each policy, you can see a list of all the related announcements, consultations and publications in one list, called 鈥榓ctivity鈥�. The activity tab makes it easy for you to track what is happening on the policies that interest you, for example all government activity that relates to developing a high speed rail network.

More about Inside Government and 188体育

What you see today is just the beginning, with just 2 departments and 3 other organisations live. Work will continue as other departments and organisations, many hundreds in total, move their information to 188体育. This will happen in batches and will be completed by March 2014.
