SWChambersOnline has teamed up with the Market and Coastal Towns Association for a new and exciting project. Thirteen towns across the region are being offered the opportunity to develop their very own website which can be used to promote local news and events, raise their profile and help them engage with the wider community.

The thirteen towns selected are those which joined the Market and Coastal Towns Initiative in January 2007 and are currently working through the community strategic planning process. For these towns, a website can play a key role in their communications plan - helping information to be disseminated, providing a channel for feedback and increasing the active involvement of people in the future of their town.

Over the next couple of months town partnerships will be invited to attend a training session where they will receive practical training on how to effectively develop and manage their website and soon after their own website will be ready to go live. It very much promises to be an exciting summer! If you would like to know more about this project please contact MCTA on 01823 250815 or info@mcti.org.uk.
