8. Social Media/ Facebook -Cllrs Ms Chatterton-Crane & Mrs Rose
To report on the training received and discuss the use of Facebook by the Parish Council.
Most of the Village use Facebook, and it was felt that having a Parish Council Facebook page would be a good way of communicating with the Village. The Page would be used for general information, and would not replace the website, as it is a legal requirement to use the website for Parish Council business. Proposed by Cllr Davie, seconded by Cllr Walton that unanimously agreed that arrangements should be made to set up a page.
The first step is to write a Facebook & Social Media Policy, for adoption.
Cllr Mrs Rose will carry out this procedure.
