Efficiency North (Housing Maintenance and Construction Best Practice Forum) have launched their new website which has been created in partnership with Yorkshire Futures.

Efficiency North is funded by the Department for Communities and Local Government's Beacon Peer Funding programme and the Regional Improvement and Efficiency Partnership.

The new online presence maintains aspects of the original website with news, events and good practice whilst providing further information about the work of Efficiency North.

Clare Johnson, Director of Yorkshire Futures said:

"It’s been great to work in partnership with Efficiency North to develop the second of our new micro sites. In the forthcoming months, Yorkshire Futures will be acting as a hub for a range of new regional micro sites. We are always looking to develop new ways to deliver research and information; working in close partnership with other key information providers is a really good way to do this.”

The new site has been designed to support the objectives of the Efficiency North's members which include Local Authorities and their Arms Length Management Organisations (ALMOs) and Regional Social Landlords (RSLs) from across Yorkshire and Humber.

Key features of the new website include:

• News - Latest news and information
• About Us - Who we are and where do we originate from
• What we do - Annual programme and strategic partnerships
• Events - Planned and past Learning Events together with key learning resources
• Best Practice - Our archive of best practice information structured around four work streams
• Contact Us - Our postal, phone, fax and email details
• Useful Links - Signposts to organisations that you may find useful in the pursuit of further information.

The new website is now online at www.efficiencynorth.org
