From the WMDC Press and Communications Office LAUNCH OF COMMUNITY WEBSITEA new community website has been launched so that Wakefield District groups and organisations can let people know their news. The initiative gives citizens the opportunity to build, develop and maintain a site for their community group, promoting events, jobs, local news and activities. Wakefield District Community Online (WDCO) is behind the website www.wdco.org and any group can register on it - provided they accept the terms and conditions - and build their own community website free of charge. Cllr Peter Loosemore, Cabinet Member for Community Safety and Neighbourhoods, said: "There are already 33 groups and organisations on the site and we hope that more will sign up. People who have used it have told me that it was really easy to get their site on line. So don't be put off, even if you're new to computers." He added: "This website has the potential to be a really valuable reference point for anyone living or working in the Wakefield District." The site will provide another way for residents to find out what is happening where they live - it is expected that all sorts of events including village galas, local sport, community meetings, clubs and workshops will be included. Free training is available for citizens who want to take part. More information is available by phoning 01924 303727 or by asking at any District library. WDCO has been developed by Wakefield Council in partnership with Vox and Voluntary Action Wakefield District. Ref:
