2 COMMUNITY SPIRIT How to tell if an area has a good Community Spirit Being involved in the community can bring a sense of belonging, fill your social calendar, and make it easy to find friends. Look for a local magazine When moving to a new house, it’s important to consider what the community spirit will be like in the new town, village, or borough. How can you find out about the community before you move there? Check social media Steve Thompson from Thomas Morris says: “Facebook and Twitter are fantastic sources of information about a community. Search the name of the village, town or area and you will find numerous community groups operating locally. “Checking the group’s feed and events to see how active and how well supported the group is, what events are happening and how you can get involved. All of this information will help provide a feel for the community spirit in the area.” Monnow Voice, Ross Voice and Chepstow & Forest Voice is a perfect example of great community spirit. These towns are all based in the Wye Valley and there is a huge amount to offer including both primary and secondary schooling and a great variety of shops, restaurants and cafés. The magazines are also a great resource to find local traders. THE PROPERTY DROP ROUNDUP Page 7 Page 11 Page 15 Building the Dream Osbaston plot of land available for offers in excess of £150,000.
