BBC's Action Network

Action week has just finished.  What did you do?

If the answer's not a lot, you'll find lots of good ideas - and information about the BBC's Action Network - here.

For political anoraks only...

... see this from BBC political correspondent Nick Robinson's weblog on 'double devolution', giving power to the people (perhaps) and related matters which are connected with the parish planning initiative of which the Thatcham Vision is a part.

A quick wave ...

... to visitors to the Blog from the National Parish Planning conference which took place in Newbury yesterday.  An excellent event, I thought, although I can't comment on the 'Using ICT in Parish Planning' session - on the grounds that I ran it!  If you'd like a copy of a brief handout which lists the websites and web related services which we're using as part of the Thatcham Vision please click here.  Please feel free to let other people know about this.  If you'd like to contact me with any questions you have about ICT and Parish Planning please email me by clicking here.  I'm can't provide you with expert advice on the subject - I'm not a website designer by trade - but I can at least tell you about our experiences.

As with most of the other posts to this blog, I added this one by just writing an email and sending it to a special email address which you can create when you set-up the blog. 

I'd be also be very grateful to hear any ideas you have about how we can improve the website. 

Incidentally, I did find most of yesterday very interesting and useful.  One point that struck me was that calling what we're doing 'planning' is misleading.  I'd be interested to hear what others think about that.
