  • Operating Systems New page: Bower Ashton 2010 website statistics

    You may need an interest in who uses the web and this website to find this interesting.

    The page shows visitor numbers, top page information, operating systems, browsers used, search engines and search phrases.

December 2010
  • New: Two forms for hotmail, gmail, yahoo! mail or other mail service users.
    • For general enquiries you can use the form above. As this was unused I have removed the form.
    • Residents can also use the form at the end of the - Residents Association page.
  • In early 2005 when this website was first online, some of the older PC's and laptops could only display a page width of 800 pixels (dots in newspaper terms). 5 years on however, the vast majority of computers have a far higher screen resolution. So I have increased the website page width size by about 20%.
  • Blackmoors Lane Map added on the Directions Page.

    This area will be new housing with the brook culverted, if BCFC's new stadium planning applications is approved.

    Its a small brook and a footpath, but it will be a loss of one more wildlife corridor if BCFC's development goes ahead in its planned form.
