  WEB SITE
  Access Home Page
  Content along with a move to their new location, this record office's web site has been redeveloped - unfortunately the new web site has far less useful content than the previous site and instead has opted for a gimicky video which is a total waste of council funds - response time on this badly designed new web site tends to be poor as well
  Navigation not much content to navigate!
