Our Communities

The Wetheral Parish website is a community website for permanent residents of, and those who work in, the Wetheral Parish, Cumbria. Most of the website is available to anyone, but some of the interactive and messaging services are only available to residents who are registered MyParish members.

Users accessing the Wetheral Parish community website must use these facilities responsibly and with sensitivity to others. By signing up and reading this agreement you and members of your household are making a promise to do this.

Do not let anyone else use your login name and password to access the Wetheral Parish website.

You and members of your household should at all times use the website with respect to others in the community. Do not send email to any person who does not wish to receive it. If the recipient asks to stop receiving email, you and your household member must stop sending email to that person. Harassment through language, frequency or size of communication is prohibited.

Some material on the Internet is protected by copyright, trademark or statutes and laws which protect the creator of that material. Transmission, distribution, or storage of other people's information, data, or material is therefore illegal.

Wetheral Parish Website Administrators reserve the right to remove, at their discretion any material transmitted via the Wetheral Parish website facilities which could be considered unlawful, defamatory, abusive, threatening, obscene, hateful, could encourage a criminal offence or could otherwise violate local, national or international laws. If you are in any doubt about any material, contact the Wetheral Parish office and ask.

You and members of your household should not attempt to access restricted information which is not intended for you.

To ensure that the above conditions are complied with, connections to the website will be recorded. If it is suspected that someone is contravening the Wetheral Parish Acceptable Use Agreement described here, that person's usage of the website will be monitored and if found to be unacceptable to Wetheral Parish Website Administrators, further access to the Wetheral Parish website will be denied.

For research purposes, records will be kept to identify general patterns of website usage, e.g. number of people using the local information services, number of people logging on per week, etc. Research data will not be kept on any individual's usage of the website. By reading this agreement you accept that the Administrators will conduct anonymous statistical research about Wetheral Parish website usage.

You and members of your household must abide by the rules of acceptable use outlined in this agreement. You must understand that should any of you not comply with these rules the Wetheral Parish can discontinue any services provided through the website.
