esd, together with the London Borough of Lambeth has launched a new web-based system, e-Casework, to assist councillors in their enhanced community leadership role spelt out in the recent Local Government White Paper and Bill. It will also support them in managing contacts from constituents.

Both the recent Local Government White Paper and the Bill currently going through Parliament see an increased role for frontline ward councillors. This changing emphasis comes together with the traditional role of taking up cases for and dealing with enquiries from constituents.
