Public advised of Council web site outages this week

People who use The Highland Council’s web site are being advised of planned outages which are necessary to carry out critical security upgrades.

The website: http://www.www.highland.gov.uk/ and all web-based council systems may be unavailable from 10pm to 10.30pm on Thursday 21st November and from 9am to late evening on Sunday 24th November.

During the outage times, external emails will not be sent or received. They will be held in a queue until this work has been completed.  No email will be lost as a consequence of this work.

People using a High Life Highland facility on the Sunday may experience delays as staff need to use manual systems rather than their computers.

A holding page will be displayed on the website giving users access to services that are unaffected: Online Payments,  Online Libraries Catalogue and  Webcasting.

The Council apologises for any inconvenience caused by these essential outages.
