When something happens
A fire, a flood, a road closed: a notice raised on this hub shows above every page in Old Bar, and on every site linked under it, until it is cleared.
Who keeps this
OurHub set this hub up as a pilot, from public information. Nobody in Old Bar runs it yet and it is not a council service. It is free, and it is waiting for someone local to take the keys.
