The largest contributor to the BS score is the technical authority gap. Both pages returned a null value for schema_json, indicating a lack of structured data to support the council’s official status. Furthermore, the homepage was flagged as insufficient due to low character count (106), showing a reliance on user navigation rather than establishing a robust digital authority footprint through technical SEO or rich snippets.

There are no marketing-heavy performance claims to disconnect. The site does not promise to ‘revolutionize’ government; it simply lists services. The only ‘hook’ is ‘Ready to try something new?’ in a news H3, which is directly tied to a substance-based link for job vacancies. The site demonstrates what it claims by providing direct access to the referenced services.

Identity & Authority is read from the structured data first: whether the site declares who it is in machine-readable schema, with verifiable identity links. Below is the schema captured per page, then the external proof links that support (or fail to support) that identity.
