You know that sinking feeling when you wake up in the morning and the water just won’t work? Or the tap has fallen off the bath? Your youngest has biro’d across your fitted wardrobes? The heating won’t come on? But when you pick up the phone book to try to pick out someone to call it can be so hard to know you are choosing someone reputable! That is why we have started Find a Tradesman. If you have had great service from someone, then let other Piper readers know about it, and take the stress out of a bad day!

All you need to do is fill in the form with the details of the service you’d like to recommend, and we will do the rest. It will be added to the directory within a few days.

Wallingford Piper has been running as a really successful group over on Facebook for the last 3 years, but we decided that the time was right to create a website all of our own.

We have no intention of removing the Facebook group because it works so well. But we realise that not everyone is on Facebook and we want to be completely accessible to the whole of Wallingford.  On here you can chat, find out what is going on locally and also become involved if you want.

The thing about Piper is that it was always intended to be a community lead group.  There are plenty of parents out there who just want a springboard into organising their own events or taking charge of their own community area and we have had lots suggestions about how to develop Piper which have been really useful.  We are open to all ideas and are willing to give almost anything a go so if you have something you want to see or start, then get in touch!  Essentially, Piper is going to evolve to serve families in and around Wallingford – to create a supportive and friendly community and to bring local information to the forefront of our daily lives.

So welcome! We hope you enjoy the new site, and if you have ideas we’d love to hear from you!
