The Pathfinder Project is one of 25 Government Pathfinder initiatives to bring Electronic Service Delivery to the population and is part of the Government’s e-initiative for the next five years. The scheme involves the establishment of eleven “front office” market town portals supported by a common layer of functionality and information management. The selected towns are:

Bourne, Lincolnshire - www.bourneonline.co.uk 
Grantham, Lincolnshire - www.grantham-online.co.uk 
Lutterworth, Leicestershire - www.lutterworth-online.co.uk 
Market Deeping, Lincolnshire - www.deepingsonline.co.uk 
Market Harborough, Leicestershire - www.harboroughonline.co.uk 
Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire - www.meltononline.co.uk 
Oakham, Rutland - www.rutnet.co.uk 
Oundle, Northamptonshire - www.oundleonline.co.uk 
Rushen, Northamptonshire - www.rushdenonline.co.uk 
Stamford, Lincolnshire -  www.stamfordonline.co.uk 
Thrapston, Northamptonshire - www.thrapstononline.co.uk 

Each site is developed to benefit the local community it represents and although will be the responsibility of the local authority, will eventually be self-sustainable and managed by the local community. The websites will include: 

• Improved citizen access to public, private, voluntary and community sector information, including business to government
• On-line planning services 
• Opportunities for electronic payment for suitable services
