LGSS Digital repatriated back into the home councils in 2020. This twitter account is now just here for nostalgic reasons!

In 2009 the British courts ruled that Pringles, being made from potato flour, were in fact crisps and thus subject to VAT. At one point the court argued that a Pringle was ‘made from potato flour in the sense that one cannot say that it is not made from potato flour’.

An amazing example of how to use tech to create a reliable, reusable and scalable service - in 4 weeks. (And to be honest, even if the talk was about worms, @danblundell would still make it brilliant. Go register) #PublicSector #AWS #DigitalTransformation

[Dan Blundell @danblundell]

Probably the last talk I'll be doing in my current role.

Exciting.

Public sector folk feel free to come and join us to hear about Amazon Connect and a bit about how we used Lex and Lambda to integrate phone calls and business systems

@JeremyRawling @katsexton8 Thanks Jeremy!! It was so fun working with you!

[Digital Collective @lgssdigital]

@OJGarling @katsexton8 Thanks Owen. Such kind words. It was a pleasure working with you and the @CCCTransformers over the years. I agree, the legacy will live on and noone can take our achievements and memories away 😁

[Dan Blundell @danblundell]

Today is the last day of our shared team at @lgssdigital.

We started the team almost six years ago to design better public services.

We've learned a lot but I'm most proud of is the team we created and the opportunity everyone has to go on to do incredible things in the future.

[Digital Collective @lgssdigital]

@adelleywelley @Natures_Voice Congratulations Adele!! Im going to miss you like crazy but so happy for you and super duper proud!! Xx

[Kat Sexton @katsexton8]

I finally finished writing by blog post about my experience and what I learned working at the @CambsCC and @PeterboroughCC C-19 hub! It's been like a never-finished work of art! I hope you enjoy it! Feedback very welcome :) https://t.co/FM7Gs9NYpf @lgssdigital

Covid-19: we designed and built something in 7 days!
...so, why does it normally take months?

There is some AMAZING work going on in #localgov in response to #Covid19. What have you learned? How have you adapted your approach?

🎨Today's @UoNillustration showcase animation by @LangenAmy tells the story of @lgssdigital designer @explawrence.

Lawrence left his home in Kenya to start a new life in the UK. He studied at @UniNorthants and has worked in several roles with the common theme of helping people.

By the time you've finished your next cup of coffee, you'll forget half of what you just learned.

One option for #homeschooling, let kids learn code.

It's one of the most valuable skills they'll need for the future, understanding how software works.

So proud of the team at @lgssdigital this week.

Turning around changes and new requests on a dime with the utmost quality and clarity.

Getting in touch with services across three different councils to offer help and support in any way we can.

Constantly asking 'how can I help'
