Public Notice Portal launches new consultation and archive services
Reach plc’s Public Notice Portal now lets users comment on notices and search a full archive, with 43,000 registered users.
- The Public Notice Portal launched new consultation features and a searchable archive today, developed over 18 months by Reach to enable direct public feedback on local notices.
- Funded by a six-figure grant from the Google News Initiative and ongoing support from local publishers, the project strengthens local democratic engagement and public access to notices.
- User registration on the PNP has nearly doubled over the past year to 43,000, while the platform harnesses local news media's massive online audiences of 42 million people monthly.
- News Media Association chief executive Theo Bamber said the new features make local government workings "more accessible than ever," as the government's Local Media Action Plan explicitly referenced the PNP as a key platform.
- Maintaining a strong statutory link between public notices and local news environments remains vital for local communities, according to Hayley Cochrane, Director of News Partnerships for Google UK and Northern Europe.
