A website has a new look after being relaunched to feature new pages and faster navigation.

Four home pages have been created on the Hambleton site - home, business, residents and visitors - to tailor links for specific users. Forms can also be downloaded for online customer feedback.

The improvements are the first changes aimed at making the site more user-friendly.

A database of accommodation in the area is to be added in the New Year, along with a directory of local attractions. A business directory is being developed allowing users to find contact details and descriptions.

Householders will soon be able to find out when refuse collections are to take place and whether their homes are in a conservation area.
