Content idea from Bournville Village: News from the notice boards

2nd September 2010 by nickygetgood

Bournville Village Notice Board
Bournville Village Notice Board

News from the notice boards is a great new regular feature that Dave Harte has introduced on the Bournville Village website:

One of the best ways to find out what’s happening in and around Bournville is to take time to read the notice boards on the Village Green. We’ll be making this a regular category on the website. Here’s some upcoming events and courses we’ve learned about…

Are there communal noticeboards in your area where people tend to put up posters about local events, courses and lost cats?  Think about posting updates from the information on them as a regular feature on your community website.

    When I started Created in Birmingham one of my regular jobs was gathering leaflets from around the city. The problem we were trying to solve was that this information wasn’t online when it should have been.

    Another idea for local sites is the cards in newsagents windows and the like. Not only are these sources of news but they’re often quite bizarre. Particularly, it seems, in Bournville:
