This is a website for the people of Shepton Mallet and the local area to help us explore, celebrate and publish the wonderful community we are.
It is also for those people who are thinking of visiting us, perhaps having seen the BBC TV series, 'Turn Back Time'. In the series, the problems the traders faced were wholly artificial. In the real Shepton, they are all too present, though very similar to those of other traditional shopping centres facing supermakets and the Internet, as well as so many families with two working parents.
But Shepton Mallet is fighting back and we are determined to revitalise our town centre. This is a wonderful community to live in and we are begining to remember that.
If you'd like to help run this site, just ask; it's for all of us. If you have a blog or other page, we can link to it and provide a live feed to help you get to a wider audience.
By all means use this site to advertise. It's completely free! And you could buy a domain name from a third part vendor for about £3 a year, point it at your page on here and you've got a mini website, quite enough for many businesses. Have a look at some of the featured sites or those on the 'Members' page.
The site is also much more than that: there is room for debate and discussion, a diary of everything going on in the town and much else besides. And it will only realise its potential if taken as an opportunity and used.
