The Bell Green Website

Residents from the Bell Green Matters Steering Group decided to set up a local website to provide information about the community and local area. The group wanted a website which would provide the user with useful information, for example, up and coming activities and events. The group also wanted the website to promote local resident groups and community organisations in the area.

The website has been funded by Neighbourhood Management through the 'Your Neighbourhood Matters' Programme.
