A MAJOR revamp of a highly-rated county website goes live on Monday with more information on everything from tourism to businesses.

Worcestershire County Council's improved site includes a new business and commerce section and upgraded tourism and culture pages.

Council job vacancy lists will be fully searchable on-line and special pages will be included for the visually-impaired. The site will also be more user-friendly.

Councillor Adrian Hardman, cabinet member for community services, said it was already ranked in the top 20 out of 476 local government sites.

"I am particularly pleased to see such efforts being made to help us continue to recruit high quality staff," he said.

The site is at www.worcestershire.gov.uk
