Pimlico People
is a new community website where you can chat about all the local issues with like-minded people; read – and write! – all the local news that’s relevant to you; be the first to know what’s on locally and track down those hidden gems; and find businesses in your area from pet shops to plumbers.
Registering on the site is quick, easy, and free. Once you have registered you’ll be able to personalise your profile, comment on the stories that are live, create or join discussions, and upload your own stories or photos. You’ll be able to create a group that is unique to you as well. By selecting the groups most relevant to you and stating that you wish to receive emails, you will get a weekly newsletter with the latest stories to have gone live on the site.
If you have a Pimlico story to tell, click on the Write button at the top of the screen. It’s easy and you’ll be able to get your voice heard in the community. You can browse through some great photos of the area by clicking on the Galleries button. You can rate the pictures too if you want. If you consider yourself a bit of a photographer and wish to have your local pictures displayed on the site then click on the ‘upload your local photos here’ link. Follow the simple instructions, give the photos a caption once they’ve been loaded , and save. Everyone will then be able to view your great pictures.
You can search for local businesses in Pimlico via the directory at the top of the page. Alternatively if you own a business in the area, it’s most likely already listed in our directory. If you find it listed on our site then claim it (again this is free to do). Once you have claimed your business you can promote it further by loading your own images to make it stand out. It’s also worth noting that you could earn £10 M&S vouchers by reviewing 10 local businesses!
There’s so much more that you can do on the site: find out what events will be taking place, where and when; need to move? Click on the property tab to find the right place for you in Pimlico – buying or renting; you’ll even be able to check the weather on the site! You can follow the site on twitter as well.
