Wirksworth is a Derbyshire town with a good community based magazine style website with a simple discussion forum attached. Wirksworth.net is nicely executed by a local group of volunteers in a not for profit company. The site integrates video from youtube, photos from flickr and a feed from the forum. The forum is a simple vbulletin, but the site itself deserves recognition for a hand drafted content management system, rather than doing it the easy way in hosted typepad, wordpress or blogger.
