About

Living Local is a guide to your local area. We provide:

• local search engines to help you find local businesses, trades people, professionals, restaurants, jobs, real estate and more.
• local classifieds to help you find items for sale on eBay in your local area
• local what's on links
• local news
• local up to date traffic reports

We believe that while the worldwide web is a vast and exciting space, most of our living is still local. And while globalisation has made the world itself seem smaller and more accessible, there is a strong desire for localisation. Many people want to re-connect with their communities and neighbours; to work and play in their local area.

The twin challenges of climate change and resource depletion require us to pull back on unncessary travel and to think about the physical journeys taken by the products we buy and the food we eat. Financial crisis's make us more reliant on our local communities and our local economies.

So Living Local is an attempt to bring your local area to your computer. There are a lot of great websites that can provide all sorts of local services. We bring them together in one place.

We hope you find Living Local to be useful and welcome your suggestions.
