OURPROPERTY
Our company has been developing a useful property website which you can view here: http://www.ourproperty.co.uk if you would like to have a look. The site allows users to access official land registry data to find out exactly how much houses in a specific area have sold for. By simply entering a postcode, users can see house prices for that area, or even use the data to find out how much a neighbour has paid for their house! The website also has an estate agent and letting agent directory, searchable by town (http://www.ourproperty.co.uk/directory.html) - something which could be useful for many local residents.
FRIXO.COM
Although strictly not a local site, it covers this area.
Frixo is a road / motorway traffic reporting site and think it may be a useful resource for your readers. It gives users up to date information as the site gets updated every 3 minutes via feeds from various sources including the government's official Highways Agency site.
