There is a discussion taking place in the
'Forum Issues' section of SSC, regarding the possibilty of a "South of England" Sub-forum being set up.

Both myself and Chris have got involved a little bit, in the discussion.
I have been spreading the word about our
North East England sub-forum in the discussion, while offering some advice as to possible "structures" that could be adopted by a South Sub Forum.
As part of that discussion, it was mentioned that there could well be some areas of
The South, that would not easily be covered by any of the suggested City-Region Internal Forums, and I said that those areas could still use the 'communal area' that would be available beneath the internal forums - if they chose to have internal forums!
In other words, the equivalent area to this area here, where this thread is.
It made me wonder if there were any geographical parts of North East England, not really covered by
our four internal forums, that we could utilise our own 'communal area' for?
AN EXAMPLE . . .
The
remit of the
'Newcastle Metro Area' Forum, includes
South Northumberland, and to that end we have
"Area Developments" threads on there for places like Blyth and Cramlington, and as far North as Morpeth. We also have the 'Tyne Valley' covered on its own
Developments thread, for places like Prudhoe and Hexham.
Now, I'm sure we would happily cover on the Newcastle Forum, areas of Northumberland further West than Prudhoe/Hexham, and further North than Morpeth.
However (in the spirit of the discussions about "The South Sub-Forum") I just wondered if we might take the opportunity of similarly making better use of this 'communal area' of our forum, to cover areas not immediately identifiable as being part of our four internal forums.
So . . .
I thought I would kick it off with a
Northumberland Area Developments - Areas and Subjects NOT being covered on the "Newcastle" Forum thread!
In conclusion:
1 - Do people agree that there are areas we could cover here, and that it would be a good idea to more utilise this area of our sub-forum?
2 - Can anyone think of any other 'areas' (from North Lincolnshire up through Teesside and Durham, etc) not seemingly included in our four internal forums, where issues of relevance to us on SSC could be happening, that we could set up a 'Developments type' thread for in this communal area?
