I had another look at the Weymouth Bulletin Board, and saw your responses IanC (at least I assume that was you). The threads don't seem to be very long there - most are singletons or one or two replies, and the longest they ever seem to have had is only 12 posts long.

But there's some interesting stuff there. I'm going to suggest that our council in Harlow sets one up. But I think they'd be terrified of anything they didn't control out there. So Weymouth does get some things right. Maybe Shambles will be able to help them see that they are making fools of themselves totally needlessly over this, and instead they could set an example.
