The Broadband Place offers information on how to get broadband, how to generate local interest, what to do if you are unable to get it, and importantly what the benefits to community groups and businesses are. Local schemes can be promoted to maximise publicity and to share best practice. This project demonstrates examples of partnership working at local and national level. Check out the Citizens Broadband Forum too, it's the place for individuals, communities, local groups and businesses to swap ideas, case studies, warnings and concerns about broadband and related issues. http://www.ukvbroadband.co.uk http://www.citizensbroadband.co.uk What do you want from your local Parish Council? UKVillages.co.uk undertook a survey (in association with The Countryside Agency and NALC - the National Association of Local Councils) to find out what you wanted from your Parish Council. Responses have been collected and are being used to inform central government about local views on Parish Councils. To see the results yourself simply click below.
