The Facebook Page "St Ive Parish Council" (which non-Facebook users can view at www.facebook.com/stiveparishcouncil) is being updated regularly with parish news items. Facebook users can "Like" the page and automatically receive these news items in their news feed. Your own personal online newspaper with articles about just what you are interested in. I use it all the time.
The parish web site that I have been pushing for has now been agreed by the Parish Council. This is the Mission Statement I’ve written which will shape the design.
Mission Statement for the St Ive Parish Council
Web Site
“This website will be dedicated
to the community of St Ive Parish and cover the topics of parish news and
events, council meetings, local groups, businesses, and background information
about the parish. The audience will be the community of St Ive Parish. We will
be adding posts about local events, and parish meetings whenever there is
something interesting to add - every day if necessary. We are doing this to
enhance communication between the Parish Council and the community.”
The web site will have a special .gov.uk address, which will take weeks to approve. So we have some time to plan, and get the web site right. I’m still looking for you to get involved. Does this sound good? How can it be improved? Do you want to help create the web site? Computing skills are not essential. We need; ideas, graphic design (photos and fonts?), writers, editors, planners, and I don’t know who else. I’m making it up as I go along. Why not join in? It could be fun, and you could gain new skills.
