New Town Directory?

E-mail
phonedirectoryThe last Shipston Town Directory was published in the year 1999 which included a map on the front cover and listed local residents numbers and addresses as well as local businesses and their details, as well as the Town Council members at the time.  It also included facts and figures relating to Shipston and formed a nice momento of the town that year. 

The question is, would residents like to see the resurrection of the 'Town Directory' as there have been so many residential estate changes since 1999?  Or, do you think there is no longer a place for a town directory thanks to the emergence of the Internet technologies and smartphones such as the iPhone.  Do you even perhaps see phone directories as a security risk?  

Let us know your thoughts below and take our poll on the right handside of this discussion.

As this community is recognised as an ageing one many of us do not have access to modern devices like iPads, iPods or even just general computers to search for information quickly on the town - I have just about got used to how to add my thoughts to this site - thanks to my grandson! Therefore, I feel there is a need for a town directory.
