Do you have access to local timetables that you could publish on your website? Your readers would find it incredibly useful to access local opening times or travel information on their community website.
Drimnagh is Good have published the Crumlin Swimming Pool opening times and entry prices. Leisure centres and sports class timetables are information local people will often be hunting for and appreciate being able to find in one, easily accessible place. The Cricklade Bugle have posted the timetable of the Women’s Running Network, whilst The Moretonhampstead Hub have details of Satyananda Yoga Dartmoor classes.
Also think about your local cinemas, theatres, arts centres, etc. Mayo Today have a dedicated cinema listings pages.
Travel timetables are also good. Parwich.org have published an array of bus timetables for their readers, whilst Bishopthorpe.net have a dedicated Local Travel page, with information on forthcoming holiday services and service distruptions.
Do you live in an area that survives on just one or a handful of shops? Think about publishing their opening times. Everyone likes to know what bus or train to aim for, or that their trip out of the house won’t be a wasted journey, so see if you can include this information on your website and make it super-handy for local people!
