Herefordshire Council is top of the class in the local government website league, the second month in the row.

The site has been awarded ten out of ten for code quality and function and nine out of ten for accessibility and performance.

At the opposite end of the scale was Dungannon and South Tryrone Borough Council, which failed to even score one point in three of the four required areas. Oh NO!

A further seven sites failed basic accessibility tests on every web page.

However, both Herefordshire and Stockton councils managed to achieve absolutely no warning messages on their webpages.

In total, 25 local government sites were found to be error free last month.

West Sussex County Council's website, however, had the highest number of errors, with more than 5,400 recorded.

Woking Borough Council website had the fastest response time and Colchester Borough Council had the slowest rate of response.
