Welcome to the Marshfield, Colerne and surrounding Communities' localLOCALDirectory web site. The web site aims to be much more than 'just another directory', and to respond to how residents and businesses in  the area want to use it; see the articles about 'what's available now', and 'what is coming soon' for more details. The web site exists because people have been asking for a local web site for a while now and well, here it is!

At its heart the web site has two directories, one is for local Businesses, the other is for local Groups, Clubs and Organisations and anyone and everything else practically. The idea behind the directories is a hope to get EVERY businesss and EVERY group and initiative listed so that it becomes a genuinely useful information resource for the local population, traders, and visitors alike. The idea is definitely not to be in any kind of competition with other forms of information sharing and advertising such as AAM, Parish magazines, FC programmes etc., but to offer a complimentary range of services to support them.

Clearly it is a big undertaking to gather together such a range of contact and services information and the directories have only just made a beginning, and of course there may be inaccuracies. Your help is requested; if your business, or one you know of, is not in the directory please give us the details; similarly if your club or group is not listed, please do get in touch; there is a contact form or you can email, phone or txt.

Saving the best to last - another core service this web site is offering and the one that really makes this web site stand out from the crowd, is that any business or group etc. that is listed in the directories, can have its own mini web site within the localLOCAL web site, even with its own domain name*! For charitable and non profit organisations a mini web site is free! And in all cases mini web sites will be self editable by their 'owners'!

The localLOCALDirectory web site is primarily for information rather than editorial content, although when the eventual self editing feature on mini web sites becomes available, content and use will be at the discretion of the mini site editors.

Welcome, and thanks for looking, please do bookmark the site and come back whenever you need to find local information, or to see what's going on.
