A HISTORIC market town which dates back over 750 years is using new technology to communicate with visitors and locals.
Community organisers keen to promote Bedale's historic past and modern communications and developments through social media have now set up new their own website, Twitter account and Facebook page to promote the town.
To spread the word a Facebook competition was organised and winner Anne Hare, along with children Lois and Emmy, were presented with a Bedale Box of prizes by Samantha Chisolm, of Headquarters hairdressers.
The town’s website, which provides access to local businesses and shops as well as community news and announcements, is bedale.org while the social media accounts can be found at @OfficialBedale on Twitter and Facebook.com/OfficialBedale
