Local Twitter Guide

BlackishSheep On Twitter!

Well hello fellow tweeters! You can find me @BlackishSheep and you may be interested in some of the lists I've made! I have moved them all to @LakesList to be fair - and to follow everyone instead of just what is local to my part of the Lakes :)

Below is The Blackish Sheep's Local Twitter Directory. If you'd like to be added, please fill this in, and I will get to it as soon as possible! For councils, local services and so on you do not have to be the owner of the account to suggest that it be added.

To help you find your way around, I've also added some following lists. Please note there are accounts on the @LakesList that have not signed up to be on the Directory - this is why they are not listed in the webpage Directory :) Accounts in the Directory have been checked and verified by myself, where as @LakesList are just a collection of probably relevant twitter accounts that I have not taken the time to go through and verify, as they have not asked me to do so, and have not been asked to be added to the site.

I have also started to add the Councils, Police, NHS and so on that I know about - I have marked these with a ♥ as they have not asked to be on the Directory, but are national and local services. If I have missed any out, please use this form to let me know. For councils, local services and so on you do not have to be the owner of the account to suggest that it be added.
