Chorlton
Chorlton Community Website
So what is the BigIdea? Well, we at Chorlton BigNoticeBoard like Community Spirit! We like it when people are respectful and polite to each other and we like it when people living in the same town know each other. Chorlton already has all of this, but we wanted to give extra support because we also like it when people do things and other people support them, get involved and take part. That is what this website is about.We respectfully and politely request that you post notices on the site, support other Chorlton people who promote their own endeavours through this site and as a result find time and reason to engage with local people.
