Plans for Cheadle Web Site welcomed.

Town councillors were given an insight into the benefits of a web site for Cheadle.

Ian Sheldon, owner of Web Design Company eSoftware Solutions outlined how the web site would work.

Cheadle is one of the few town’s without an up-to-date online portal for visitors from across the world.

Mr Sheldon revealed that 65% of households in the United Kingdom are now online.

He said: “We want to create an engaging, eye catching online portal for the town. There will be three main areas of the web site that will focus on council related matters, tourism and local businesses. It is an opportunity to rebrand Cheadle as an online entity.”

Deputy Mayor Mike Maryon said: “There is so much going on in the town, and we are building up to the Pugin celebrations in 2012. In this day and age it is difficult to find a town without a web site, but we are lagging behind. This is an important development for the town.”

Town Councillors will now decide if the web site should go ahead and if money will be put aside for the next years’s precept.
