Skipton Town Council Website

SkiptonWeb Media Release - September 2004

Skipton Town Council Website Launched

http://www.skiptontowncouncil.gov.uk

Skipton Town Council have launched their new website that includes information on upcoming meetings and allows downloading of agendas and minutes. There is a ‘rogues gallery’ of all the current Skipton Councillors, together with photographs and contact details. There is also a very useful database of recently approved planning applications.

The website was developed for the council by Steve Smith and Wayne Deveney of local web design company SkiptonWeb.

Steve said,
“We're proud and very happy to have been chosen as developers for this project. The Skipton Town Council website is a very interesting project for us because it was planned from the outset to be much more than a simple static 'brochure' website. The new site is designed to be a genuinely useful resource to the people of the town. It contains a database of recently approved planning applications, for example, that’s fully searchable and open to the public. You can check what your neighbours are planning to build in their backyard.”
