Shorter web addresses

Web Development - January 2012
web.development@kirklees.gov.uk

Sometimes you may want to type the precise address of a web page into the browser address bar rather then find it through looking in menus.

To avoid having to type in long complicated addresses, some of the sections of the web site can be reached through typing in a shorter version of the address.

For example:
To find out who your local councillor is, instead of typing:

http://www2.kirklees.gov.uk/you-kmc/kmc-howcouncilworks/councillors/profile/yourcouncillors.aspx

you can just type:

http://www.kirklees.gov.uk/councillors

Here is a list of short addresses that you can currently use on this site.  To visit these pages simply type: http://www.kirklees.gov.uk followed by the short name.
