ODIHAM Parish Council (OPC) has been given a special nod for its use of social media.
OPC was given the Social Media Award at the Hampshire Association of Local Council’s (HALC) annual general merting, based on the content of its Facebook page.
OPC chair Councillor Jon Hale received the award.
OPC describes itself as ‘relatively new’ to social media, with the Facebook page launched a few years ago, with the intention of informing the local community of the meetings, decisions, projects and events that were taking place, as well as help promote other village organisations.
HALC represents all 262 parishes in Hampshire.
