Wetherby - worth a look at

Yesterday one of our viewers suggested we find out how they were able to provide free parking in their town.

Wetherby has a population of 10,000 compared to Ulverston's 12,000. It is also overshadowed by Leeds City Council.

Their web site is impressive compared to ours run by SLDC and the new Town Council's site which is more about the town councillors glorying in their own importance than about Ulverston - take the time to compare and you'll see what I mean - why do we put up with this?

They produce a very attractive newsletter every three months.

They employ five staff.

There's no sign of political party rivalry - their parties aren't mentioned.

They certainly seem 'on the ball'.

What's their secret?

We'll be talking to them as soon as possible

Better than ours? Yes, but faint praise indeed for the Wetherby effort. The website of the Moldovan Tractor Drivers Union is impressive compared to ours.
