Long Bredy Village Website  –  Governance Policy

Ethos

The village website has been established to enhance and enrich the sense of community within the village. It is intended as a platform upon which village groups and individuals can share information, highlight matters of interest, promote community involvement and provide a means of communication to residents and visitors.

Management

The website is managed by a small committee of three who will appoint a Webmaster and Deputy. The Webmaster is responsible for uploading content but the success and vibrancy of the site will rely on the provision of timely, quality, interesting material and information. The core constitution of the website is made up of the following local groups

  • The Village Hall Committee
  • The Kingston Russell and Long Bredy Parish Council
  • St Peter’s Church, including the Bell Ringers
  • Community Forum

Each Group will nominate a website representative to interface with the Management Committee and be responsible for providing content for the website. In order to maintain the integrity and quality of the website the Management Committee will establish an Editorial Criteria within which the site will operate.
