Welcome to Areyoulocal.co.uk!

In most online forums, you'll never meet the other people. With Areyoulocal.co.uk, it's different.

The people in Areyoulocal.co.uk are members of your community, and when chatting to your neighbour, it's important to put a name to a face, whether you're chatting in the street - or in the street forum.

So, on Areyoulocal.co.uk, your online name is as you might introduce yourself as to a neighbour: 'Andy from Bishop Road', 'Claire from Berrylands', 'Meera S. from Kingston'. No surnames are necessary- just enough for your members to recognise you.

Better still, everyone can upload a little picture of their face, so that next time you walk down your street you might recognise someone from the website... and stop... say hello, and get chatting. Isn't that what community is about?

In Areyoulocal.co.uk, most things are just a single click away, and a single click is all it takes to switch between the forums of your favourite places - streets, neighbourhoods, apartment blocks.

The roundup feature even lets you see the latest discussions from all your favourite places on a single page.

If you like, you can add spice to your forum messages with a wide variety of styles and formatting options.

You can even include links to other web pages, or insert pictures from other places on the web!
