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.
"Enabling councils to make services better for the citizen, better for staff and better for the North West" Who does NWeGG work with?

Who directs NWeGG?
NWeGG is managed by an Executive Board that is Chaired by Steven Pleasant, Chief Executive of Tameside MBC. The Executive includes representatives from all five North West sub-regions plus the Programme Director (Phil Swan) and Accountable Body representative.

focus on these four areas and to offer more individual organisation support reflects the
needs that councils and their partners have articulated to NWeGG above and beyond the
traditional information brokering through working groups, seminars and projects that
NWeGG offers.
There is also a strong sense that, as a region, if we do not collaboration on these areas
then we will not effectively tackle the changes that are required of local government in the
coming years.
