what does communications group do
Good means of communication are essential to the effective running of a
thriving community.
The Communications Group is the most recent theme group to be established,
meeting for the first time in Nov 2009, in response to replies from the
Questionnaire, which revealed that there were some problems in
communication within the villages. It was the perception of some that either
they had not received, or had access to, information on Parish matters
available and circulated.
Therefore, as part of its remit, the Communication Group has sought to
address this issue and has focused on the four methods which already exist
within the parish, which are:
A parish ‘gateway’ website: www.cradley.org.uk, (eg: links to
the Parish Council, the Parish Plan, Cradley VA School, Cradley
Village Hall, the sports club, Midsummer Masquerde 2011 etc)
The Parish Newsletter,
The Reporter (the Parish Council’s quarterly publication) and
‘Word of mouth/Noticeboards’
In addition, work has continued on our dedicated website for the Parish Plan,
(recently revamped), available at: www.cradleyandstorridgepp.org.uk

what the communications group
have done and will do
(A) What We’ve done
Extensive discussion, based on the recommendations of the questionnaire
responses, took place with those involved with a variety of community
websites, and the editorial groups of the Newsletter and the Reporter.
(B) What we’re going to do
A variety of topics emerged for further exploration and implementation
including the coordination of the existing means of communication within the
community and a rationalisation of their structure to allow for their more
effective use. Most crucial is the proposed development of a tourism strategy
for the parish.
