I'm going to go against the HN grain and say that it's great. Frequent complaints I hear about local authority websites boil down to: 1. Too much top-level navigation - choice is confusing. 2. No idea which information is in which section. This one gets you to (what they believe to be) the most-commonly requested issues instantly, and gives you a quick idea of what you can find in each section. This is the perfect place for search results suggestions too. Remember, most visitors to these sites are not going to be frequent users - they won't have the time or inclination to learn a more complex system. I don't think it's perfect, but I think it's a great idea that just needs a bit of extra polish.
