Digital Integration for Unitary Councils: How LocalGov Drupal Supports Reorganisation

Staff Reporter

Rohallion’s new article by Duncan Davidson delves into how LocalGov Drupal can simplify digital integration for newly formed unitary and strategic authorities in England. As councils consolidate under devolution reforms, merging multiple websites, CMS platforms, and databases becomes one of the most complex tasks — and LocalGov Drupal offers a proven solution.

The blog outlines how LocalGov Drupal provides a unified platform that enables councils to consolidate digital assets efficiently, maintain accessibility standards, and deliver a consistent citizen experience. Through shared development costs, pre-built components, and flexible content migration tools, it reduces both time and expenditure during transition. Case studies like Cumberland Council’s migration illustrate real-world benefits in reducing technical debt and improving stability. Duncan also highlights community collaboration as a key strength, allowing councils to share best practices, governance models, and digital design patterns to support long-term transformation beyond website integration.
