Bassetlaw signs £90,000 deal with Northgate

Bassetlaw council has signed a £90,000 deal with Northgate Information Solutions to deliver a new combined environmental health and public safety system.

The public protection service will be implemented at Bassetlaw council as part of a seven-year contract.

The council has joined up its administrative management of environmental health, private sector housing, anti-social behaviour and waste management in order to deliver enhanced services to citizens and reduce unnecessary bureaucracy.

By fully integrating using a geographic information system, the system will enable the council to use a streamlined approach to improving services by quickly identifying problems, agreeing interventions and systems, and constantly assessing situations.

Chris Shaw, of Bassetlaw council's environment and housing service, said, "The council is committed to implementing practical improvements to these services to benefit the local community, and we believe that our close collaboration with Northgate will help deliver the best service for local citizens."
