Noticeboard on Northcross Road

@Jellybeanz In response you know nothing about me

I will not list all the charities I support (with regular donations)

I simply feel there are ample inexpensive opportunities for small buisnesses to advertise their services.

"The community" is all of us.

Are you volunteering to take this task on?

I would happily take the task on but sadly the council will keep the responsibility, which I'm fairly sure means within months of them actually putting any useful information up on the boards it will not be kept up to date and will eventually get vandalised and fall out of use.

Wonder when it will actually have anything at all posted as it was mended last year after around 2 years of me (and James Barber supporting) to ask Charlie Smith and other councillors to have it repaired.

I'm not disputing that BUT this would also be a very useful place for small businesses to advertise and the last time it was actually in use it had a mix of councillors' contact details (I'm guessing would be in line with you supporting community info being posted there) but also info about give and take sales and also a few small business ads, a whole range really... and now I believe the plan is only to have community group and not for profit group info.

That's my argument really, that we are a mixed area and anything we can do to support local small businesses would also be a good idea.

Anyway I sadly don't have high hopes for this (Northcross Rd) board to be maintained properly or regularly by the local councillors - Monica at Health Matters did her best when it was last in use but even then it had very old info on it aside from local councillors details.

Hope I'm proven wrong.

Local councillors,  over the many years that the boards have been installed, have rarely updated them. Details of councillors surgeries were posted by party supporters.
