Welcome
This Marlborough Area Community System is being developed and operated by the Marlborough Area Development Trust (MADT).
Marlborough Area Development Trust is a non-profit-making voluntary organisation. Our aims are simple; to strike a balance between economic, social and environmental issues affecting the Marlborough Area and to ensure that it is a vibrant, successful and pleasant place to live, work and visit; both now and in the future.

The initial use of this Community System has been to collect views from anyone regarding the Marlborough Area Plan. A series of on-line surveys were available upto 1st August 2011, and the Marlborough Area Plan section of the site now provides details of of how the second stage consultation was carried out and the final report produced.
Details of the new Community WiFi system are now being published on the site. This is a important project that when rolled out to a wide number of locations will support the local economy and benefit all Marlborough Area residents, workers and visitors. We are therefore seeking the support of all local businesses and organisations to engage with the project and to understand how they can contribute.
The further development of this Community System is continuing and we are identifying a number of additional uses for it.
Its primary aim is to become a central resource for information about the Marlborough Area, that is managed and evolved by the community itself, and to allow different Marlborough Area groups and businesses to share information and collaborate together using on-line tools.
If you have ideas about how we could use this on-line resource to support the development of the Marlborough Area we would welcome your input and suggestions - so contact us now.
