When he isn't working on Talk About Local projects, Mike runs the nationally acclaimed Pits n Pots website which scrutinises and reports on Stoke-on-Trent City Council.

The VOICE website offers a similar service to the BT Community Website Builder, and there are no plans for it to close down!
We welcome all community groups to sign up for a free website.
(These really are genuinely free websites for non-profit and community organisations. It’s not any kind of scam!)
Have a look at http://e-voice.org.uk for more information.
Thanks
