Case Study: the nine councils across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire achieve clear LGR engagement with Rohallion and LocalGov Drupal

The Nine Councils Across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire engage 11,500 residents in under 3 weeks with Rohallion

The nine councils across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire needed a neutral digital platform to clearly communicate a complex local government reorganisation (LGR) to residents. They faced tight deadlines, multiple stakeholder approval processes, and the challenge of presenting impartial information that represented all nine authorities fairly. They turned to vendor Rohallion and its LocalGov Drupal microsites platform to deliver a solution.

Rohallion implemented a dedicated LocalGov Drupal microsite that served as a central, neutral hub for information and public engagement. The platform's simplicity allowed the communications team to build pages and publish updates quickly without developer support. The project was completed in under three weeks and resulted in an exceptionally high public response rate, with nearly 11,500 residents participating in the engagement survey, one of the highest for any LGR exercise.
