We’ve mentioned registers a few times on this blog, most recently in relation to the work of the Land Registry building on the steel thread, the brilliant new Companies House public beta, and their importance for building platforms.
We want to see how platforms can improve the way people communicate with government. As part of this, we’re starting discovery work on status tracking and notifications.
