Dalton & Carrutherstown Community Council
News, live updates, meetings and grant information for two Annandale villages.
Two villages of around 300 people with no website of their own, just a third-party directory listing and the occasional Facebook post. Minutes and agendas had nowhere permanent to live, urgent updates during power cuts and road closures reached only whoever happened to be scrolling, and local windfarm grant money went unclaimed because nobody could find it. They now have news and live updates, an events calendar, agendas and minutes in one searchable place, and clear guidance on the funding available. Built on WordPress so the volunteers can run it themselves, and designed around the council's own hand-drawn logo rather than against it. Design and build were donated; the council pays only hosting and the domain.
