Community information.
The internet is a fantastic piece of equipment for helping society as a whole, if that be finding the latest county council initiatives to finding a charity christmas card that doesn’t keep most of the proceeds.
If you are setting out as a regional business and want to reach the local community we have discovered a few brilliant sites that give you the opportunity to discover neighbourhood information and place both your site and data on to it for nothing. This will provide you with a base to expand your thoughts ahead of commiting to a community website of your own.
Finding jobs in the community.
After being unemployed for a short period of time I needed to locate a job in the area, it looked like I was able to locate jobs in Exeter, Bournemouth and Dorset through uk recruitment agencies but nothing really appropriate. I then keyed into Yahoo on my PC ‘whats on in wiltshire’ and was supplied with a local community website providing salisbury visitor information and also local community information together with jobs in salisbury. It enabled me to get in touch with a local air conditioning installer, a IT consultancy and a Telecom consultancy inside the space of a few minutes. [broad choices I know but I have had a wide career route]
There may be others....
A lot of us have a hobbie of some kind be it train spotting, jazz dance or a complete selection of beano comics. A growing number of people in local government office are providing an avenue for folk to talk with the local community using there community websites. Whether your new to somerset, boating in the kennet district or just browsing for community information the community websites are a fantastic outlet for like minded types to share their unusual hobbies with one another and maybe discover fresh ones with the increasing numbers of people that use the service.
