The Cheshire Local Access Forum webpage was hosted on the Cheshire West and Chester Council’s website.  Adele Mayer reported that the Council was updating their website and that guidance issued for this would have an effect on the content of the Forum’s webpage.

The guidance stated that websites should no longer host archival material and that any documents on the website must be less than a year old.  At present the Forum webpage held archival material in the form of old agendas and minutes.

Three options for alternative arrangements for the website were outlined.  These being:

• Option 1: That the Forum ran and maintained its own website, which could then hold all the materials current and archival. A link from the website could then be maintained from the Cheshire West and Chester and East websites.
• Option 2: That the current website contain the latest documents, with these being available for a maximum of one year
• Option 3: That Cheshire East host the Forum for the time being and delay a decision.

Following discussion, Members agreed Option 2 as the way forward so that the website showed the latest agenda and minutes.
