Dallington Parish Council have changed their suffixes from .org.uk to .gov.uk
This is due to pressure from Central Government for all public authorities to use .gov.uk
All our emails now have the suffix .gov.uk – see the Who We Are Page.
The domain name – dallington.org.uk expires on 25.11.26 and until then there will be redirects to emails and our website if you forget to use the new suffix.
The company handling our emails and website is now Uniserve (based in Whatlington) and we are very pleased with the level of service and support they are providing.
Our website address is now – https://dallingtonparishcouncil.gov.uk or www.dallingtonparishcouncil.gov.uk
