Hyperlocal accountability in action

Parwich.org is one of those really good flag-bearer sights where hyperlocal is concerned. Paul Bradshaw recently interviewed the founder for his Online Journalism Blog.

One bit that stood out to me was this;

The village’s relationship with the Peak District National Park Authority has significantly improved. They are very much aware of us, and we are able to hold them accountable much more effectively than before. A successful meeting took place between PDNPA and the blog team, resulting in the PDNPA actively taking steps to promote ultra-local blogging elsewhere. A senior member of PDNPA was also inspired to start his own blog.

A great example of a hyperlocal bringing the community together to get their collective voices heard and action taken. Brilliant!
