SUPPORTING LOCAL BUSINESSES - FREE ADVERTISING: Over the recent years our Parish has lost a number of businesses for various reasons.The Parish Council is supporting the current campaign to support all local businesses and has therefore decided that it would permit its website to be used to help promote them, i.e those residing within the boundary of the Parish of Langton Matravers. This facility will be provided at no cost and can include a photo/logo, short description ,contact details and a link to any existing website. If any business would like to be included on the Council's website then in the first instance could they email their details to localbusinesses@langtonmatravers-pc.org


This facility is now up and running and can be viewed by following the Local Businesses link.
