| About ChiswickW4.Com | |
This site is the largest local community web site of its kind in Europe. It has over 10,000 members and receives over 30,000 visits a week. The site publishes a weekly e-mail newsletter with a distribution of over 10,330. It is the largest media of any kind specific to the Chiswick area. We are not funded by local government nor are we part of a larger media organisation. The site was set up by a locally based company. There is no editorial line as we aim to reflect the broad spectrum of views in the community. We aren't political but are quite happy to publish your views if you are - just as we will publish the views of someone who disagrees with you. Our aim is to be as comprehensive as possible - if your organisation isn't listed here, it is because you haven't asked us. |
