For every partner

Every place is a network

How The Local Network works, and how councils, BIDs and sponsors share one city.

Chapter II

Working together

Partners rarely work alone, and the network is built for that. Each runs its own part of one shared city:

  • The council runs the city page and city-wide maps, such as a heritage trail.
  • A BID runs its district: a map of its members and seasonal trails between them.
  • A sponsor puts its name on a line or a map, or runs trails of its own.
Each partner manages only what is theirs. Visitors see one place.
