Advertising policy
Churchstanton Parish Council reserves the right to deliver advertising across our website. This is intended to generate revenue from appropriately sourced advertising.
Advertising is offered at preferential rates to business and individuals which are based within our parish boundary or have a direct connection with the parish. Other businesses / individuals located outside the parish are equally welcome to advertise to our community here, however reduced rates are not offered in this case.
Local events, charitable causes and items of public interest may also be advertised on this website free of charge - at the council's discretion. However any event (etc) outside the parish wishing to promote to the Churchstanton community will normally be expected to pay standard rates - although we may place such adverts at other prominent locations within the website as we see fit.
