Jonathan Prew explains that the Rotherham online web site received up to 18,500 hits a month—and 33 per cent of these came outside “office hours.” “Obviously our first priority is to the people of Rotherham, but we also have many inquiries about investment in the area,” he explains.
Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council is responsible for almost all local government services from education to waste disposal; across its 118 square miles.
