We live in a global world, but one which still revolves around things local
Most publishing models still rely heavily on advertising
Not only is Ourlocality locally-based but its advert-free

Who ?
It could be you
Ourlocality is everyone, and anyone with an East Lothian connection
Individuals, community groups, small businesses, community councils and much much more
In fact anyone with a legitimate connection with the county can claim a site and start publishing within minutes
How ?
We use a popular opensource software platform, based on WordPress, with lots of security built-in
We foster an environment that encourages free thinking, debate and communication
We want local democracy to flourish and provide people a platform for any cause, however small
If you are enjoying the free version feel free to donate
