Welcome to the Buckland Dinham Communications Group

Next Comms meeting : Wednesday 14th January 2026 7pm – Village Hall UPSTAIRS via the back door.

What we've achieved so far:

Built a website; Printed welcome cards for new villagers; Organised an umbrella group for WhatsApp; Maintained the notice boards.

The Comms Group materialised from the Parish Plan. Our aim is to consider the outcome of the villagers' opinions from the Parish Plan into the comms aspects of the village. These were:

A coordinated approach to ensure everyone is well informed – making best use of Website, Facebook, WhatsApp, Five Alive and Notice Boards

The need for a consolidated website with village and parish council pages.

Make better use of social media - WhatsApp and Facebook.

A welcome for new arrivals to the village

Offering help to villagers who struggle with using computers and would like to learn or for those who don't want technology but want help finding what the village offers.

A directory of businesses in the village and useful contacts e.g. Somerset council services

Please see minutes of the last meeting for more details.

Please join in by contacting John at the [email protected] with your ideas and feedback.
