Residents and visitors.

Whether you’re a resident, or looking for information about another area, The Local Channel has something for you. You can find your own community by entering either the name of the community or the post code in the search boxes on the home page of The Local Channel.

In your community, you can read what everyone is talking by clicking here to visit “chat”. And if you register first with The Local Channel (by clicking here) you can join in, have your say, and ask questions.

Your community site includes local news from the BBC, and a local business directory from Thomson Directories – and many local councils, organisations and businesses are already using their local sites.

And if you’re involved with the council, a team, group, society, club or business - and they’re not yet using The Local Channel to raise their local profile, why not suggest that they start?

It’s easy, fully supported, free for the council and all not-for profit organisations (and only £5 a month for a business web site). They can start by just registering with The Local Channel by clicking here.
