Overton Parish Council Launches New-Look Website to Keep Residents Better Connected

Overton Parish Council has officially launched its redesigned website, offering a fresh, user-friendly experience aimed at making it easier for residents to access important information about their local community.

The new website has been developed with simplicity and accessibility in mind. Council representatives say that navigating the site has been made more intuitive so that visitors can quickly find what they’re looking for—whether that’s council minutes, planning applications, or contact information for specific departments.

But the redesign goes beyond the essentials. In addition to the statutory information the council must provide for transparency, the site now includes a wealth of resources for residents, from details about local events and community clubs to guidance on using local services and facilities. A particularly useful addition is the comprehensive “Who to Contact” section, which helps residents know exactly where to turn if they have questions, concerns, or issues within the Parish.

“The goal of the new website is to make it as easy as possible for everyone in Overton to stay informed and engaged,” said a council spokesperson. “We want it to be more than just a source of official documents—it should be a hub for community life, making information about events, activities, and local resources accessible to everyone.”

The council is also encouraging residents to explore the site and provide feedback. Suggestions for additional content, improvements, or new features will be welcomed, as the council hopes the website will continue to evolve alongside the needs of the community.

The launch of the website is part of Overton Parish Council’s broader efforts to increase transparency, improve communication, and strengthen the connection between residents and the council. Whether you’re a long-time resident or new to the area, the redesigned site offers a one-stop resource for staying informed about everything happening in Overton.
