Why ?
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.
More’s the point we don’t use personal information for marketing.
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.
