Roding ward, Redbridge gets blogging

Roding Liberal Democrats blog: screenshotHaving recently been over to train some of the Liberal Democrat group on Redbridge Council in blogging, it’s good to see the Roding Liberal Democrats blog starting to pick up nicely at www.roding.mycouncillor.org.uk.

One of my standard pieces of advice for blogging councillors is to see a ward blog as a long-term investment as it usually takes time to build up a good-sized local audience, but when you have such an audience the blog is an incredibly powerful and effective tool for getting news out quickly and feedback in promptly.

From chatting to Gwyneth Deakins, it’s clear that even in the blog’s early days it is starting to get a decent local audience and they’ve already had their first piece of local media coverage based on what they have been posting on their blog.

Best of luck for the future Felicity, Ian and Gwyneth.
