From its inception in 2016 until 2025 this web site had a companion account on Twitter - @Medbourne565. This was used to "push" suitable dynamic content (e.g. news) to subscribers. Using a "widget" supplied by Twitter we also had a "Latest News" window on the the Village Home Page showing the most recent Twitter posts.
Following Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter (re-named "X") all content was restricted to users with an open X account. The Home Page Latest News window thus became blank. This change, plus a significant drop in in usage of our postings was notified to the Parish Council in May 2025. The recommendation was to terminate the @Medbourne565 account with effect from end June 2025. The Parish Council accepted the recommendation.
Medbourne's email list
In parallel with posts on Twitter, similar content has been distributed to subscribers of a village email list. This has gone from strenght to strength with subscriber numbers exceeding the number of households in the village.
