FUTURE WEBSITE CHANGES
The official Wickhambrook Village Website was designed and created by myself in 2003, now 22 years on, and with two substantial re-designs and several hundred pages of content having been created I have decided it is time to pass on the responsibility for this to someone new.
The website is a valuable resource for our Parish, as well as all the official documents the Parish Council publish, many of the village’s clubs and societies have used it as a pathway to reach people in the village and surrounding areas, especially those people who do not use social media channels.
The Parish Council is currently exploring options for the website’s future so I have decided this is an opportune moment for a fresh start.
I sincerely hope that you have found the website enjoyable and beneficial over the years and thank you to the people who have worked with me.
