A brief introduction...
Hi and welcome to this online community for all 'us' neighbours, young or old, to get together, share, have a voice, interact online, either social or business and make great friends. It started off about Council proposed CPZ parking issues, but it's now all about neighbourhood and local news, info, events, local groups, services, chat and lots more. So do join, tell others, make new friends and get neighbourly :-)
It's a really easy site to upload photos, video, music, events, discussions, start a group and even write your very own blog, even if you are not a whizz with a PC. Play with it and enjoy. Any questions just throw them Jon's way for the answer.
