A COUNCIL has relaunched its website to allow residents and business access to more services online.

Visitors to Ryedale District Council's site can now read committee agendas and minutes, and complete a number of forms.

Online payments have been available on the website for some time, but the facility is now being extended for a number of new services.

Council chairman Lindsay Burr said: "The developments on the website will allow people to carry out a wide range of transactions and provide them with more information about the wide variety of services that Ryedale District Council provides."
