Launch of new CBP website
We are pleased to announce the forthcoming launch of the new CBP website, due early April 2003. All website user names and passwords will be valid on the new site. We will send you an E-mail reminder just before the launch and hope that you will enjoy the extra services offered on our new website.
Once the site is launched you may want to update any bookmarks that you have to our old site, as the addresses will have changed. Hyperlinks in previously published E-News (including this edition) will also no longer work, so we suggest that you access any items of interest in the next few days. We hope that the new site will be easy to use and navigate, but if you do need any help finding your way around please contact our Helpdesk on 0845 605 55 56. |
