Hi, my name is Neil, and I'm the creator of Our Keyworth.

I've lived in Keyworth for over 10 years, and am a regular in the Willow Brook playground, the Scouts Parents' Committee (and Nottingham Sailing Club too!).

Neil, creator of Our Keyworth


I've created Our Keyworth for a number of reasons:
  1. Many local groups would benefit from being able to publish their information online easily and without any technical knowledge.  This serves to publicise events as well as keeping the community informed as to what's going on locally.  As a parent, I believe password-protected areas are important for groups involving children.  The Scout Group and various Guide groups are already interested, and if you know of any other voluntary groups that would like pages - for free - just get in touch.
  2. To provide a comprehensive information resource containing relevant information that you always have to look up - phone numbers, health information, rubbish collections, that sort of thing.  It's all available online, but what an effort to find it.... until now!  Again, if I've forgotten anything, we can get it added.
  3. To provide a free business directory for Keyworth residents - I've started it off, but anyone that wants to add to the listings can - for free!
  4. To offer local businesses an effective way of communicating with their customers, publish special offers, advertise vacancies, and publicise unfilled appointment slots that would otherwise go to waste.  Many small businesses see the costs of getting online as prohibitive, so I've tried to make it cost-effective, providing valuable services, and excellent value for money.
Like any website, it's only as good as the information on it, so I've designed Our Keyworth so that you, the people of Keyworth, can put on it what you want.   If you're a voluntary or community group you can have your own pages and publish your own news, for free - all you do is log in to the site.
