Q&A – Frequently Asked Questions
I have a Google account. How do I look at my Groups?
Sign in to Google Groups using the Google account you used to subscribe. Select My groups and you will see Parish Notices and/or Community News once your membership has been approved. You can view previous messages and manage your membership there.
Do I need a Gmail address to subscribe?
No. You can receive Parish Notices and Community News at any email address. However, requesting membership yourself through Google Groups requires a Google account. If you don’t have one, simply email the Parish Clerk using the link on this page and ask to be added.
Can I subscribe to both?
Yes. Parish Notices and Community News are separate services. You can subscribe to either one or both.
Why does my request have to be approved?
Membership requests are approved by the Parish Council. This helps us prevent misuse of the mailing lists while still making it easy for residents to subscribe.
Can other subscribers see my email address?
No. The membership list is restricted to the people authorised to manage the service.
Can subscribers send messages to everyone?
No. Only authorised Parish Council users can send messages through the mailing lists. This prevents the lists becoming discussion groups or being used for unsolicited email.
How do I unsubscribe?
Every message includes Google’s unsubscribe information at the bottom. You can use this to leave the group without contacting the Parish Council.
I’ve unsubscribed by mistake. Can I rejoin?
Yes. Return to this page and request membership again, or contact the Parish Clerk.
I belong to a local club or organisation. How can we have something included in Community News?
Send the information to the Parish Clerk. The Council can then consider it for distribution through Community News.
