“We are learning as we are progressing, reading the suggestions from our members, for example it was suggested there was no forum for Hailsham, so we created a page.”
Harry, a sight-seeing guide, public speaker and writer who has been working behind the scenes with Andy, said, “I love being involved with streetfriends. There’s a general chat page which is very popular. Streetfriends is answering a need for a local community interest site.”
