Uttlesford District Council is taking every possible step to ensure that the character of our area is preserved. If you want to follow what we’re doing, or engage in the process – here’s a great way of doing it.
 
 

When things are changing quickly, it can be frustrating to “chase the news” - you’d rather it came to you. But you don’t want just any news – you want the news which interests you.

That’s what RSS will do. When there’s news to report, you’ll be automatically alerted.

Newsfeeds will keep you up-to-date on various categories of news including press releases, podcasts, newspaper headlines and meeting dates/times.

It simple and it’s effective. But, to make it work, you need a special RSS program on your computer. There are lots of RSS programs you can download in just a minute or two, and many are free.

Once you have an RSS/news reader, all you have to do is click on the RSS button and copy & paste the URL from the browser into your newsreader. This will subscribe you to the 'stanstedexplained' newsfeed.

What is RSS?
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a web feed format used with news websites, blogs and podcasting. It allows you to identify the (news) content that you are interested in and have it delivered directly to you. It takes the hassle out of staying up-to-date, by delivering the very latest information.

 

How do I get started?
The first thing you will need is a news reader or aggregator installed on your computer. This is a special program which will allow you to subscribe to the RSS/News feeds that you want, and will alert you to new content as it is published. There are many such programs, with different ones working on different operating systems.
