Town Council Websites Challenge

(The many tasks of a Town Council)

As a primary level of democracy in the UK, Town Councils have many duties. Add to this the need for transparency and we are reminded that the often-overlooked website is a key part of a Town Council’s ability to carry out these duties in a compliant manner. Now with GDPR in place, securing and ensuring the privacy of that communication has become a potentially high risk for a Council’s budget. The packages offered here by TEEC take all this into account and provide the best value solution.

Challenging times, during the Covid-19 pandemic, has meant lots of additional information and support being needed and provided through things like the Parish Website. One advantage of using the template is the ability of clerks, councillors, and volunteers to all add content as almost no programming skill is needed to make 95% of all changes.

The Town Council Websites Template was suggested by TEEC’s MD (Cllr Adrian Abbs B.Sc.) as a direct result of becoming a Councillor in 2018. Having seen the challenges that Town Councils face, he commissioned the template, and to ensure a high-quality solution is available, he has setup within TEEC the hosting of this template, complete with a package of services available to anyone that needs it. The template is free to use for any Town & Parish Councils or Community Project Teams, even if the hosting is with another company.
