Tell us about YOUR Local Events!

THE WHAT’S ON PAGE lists local events and deadlines and remains one of the Hedon Blog’s (and HU12 Online’s) most popular pages.

If you have a public event, entertainment, activity or fundraising event taking place in the town that you want to advertise, then we can do an article or notice about it and list it on the WHAT’S ON page. This is a FREE service.

Use this opportunity to tell us about your Halloween and Bonfire Night events. Complete the quick and easy online form on the page.

NOTE: We will soon be launching a new PROMOTIONS SERVICE which for a small charge (approx £10) will see your event being specially promoted across the internet and social networks. More on this soon. For details of the new service prior to launch, contact hu12@gmx.com.

FOLLOWING THE RELEASE OF NON-TOXIC VAPOUR from the INEOS plant at Saltend on Monday (26th Sept 2011) and concerns about the non-sounding of the toxic alarm, the Hedon Blog is republishing an article from May 2010 about the Major Emergency Advice booklet distributed that month.

The Hedon Local News Hub

THE HEDON LOCAL NEWS HUB is the kernel of an idea – that if brought into fruition – would involve bringing key groups in the town together to provide a positive press news service from – and about – the town.

It would involve those who have news to share – community groups, local businesses – having a clear mechanism available to reach local newspapers and other media organisations.

The creation of a network of citizen-journalists or community reporters would ensure that stories, news and information about the town was dug-out. Those involved would have opportunities to get training and technical support to aid them in that task.

HU12 Business Pages

Business Pages ImageLOCAL BUSINESSES based in the HU12 postcode area can now promote their premises and website for FREE and easily via our Business Pages.

The company details stored in the Business Pages will be regularly used for ease and convenience by the Hedon Blog when referring to those businesses. When a company moves or changes its website then this will need only one change to be made on the business page, rather than having links on the Hedon Blog which may be out of date.

You can add your company details to the Business Pages easily using the new simple-to-complete online form on that website.
