So what does NWEGG do?
The North West E-Government Group ("NWEGG") is a membership based partnership open primarily to all local authorities and many other public sector agencies in the North West region.
The E in NWEGG used to stand for 'electronic', reflecting NWEGG's formation in the eGovernment era. The E really now stands for 'Transformation'. A point about NWEGG that we often hear is that NWEGG is just about electronic- Government.
