In theory Maltby Town Council has a website at http://www.maltbyonline.co.uk/ but it no longer works.
UPDATE JUNE 2009 – the Town Council have a new website at http://www.rotherhamparishcouncils.gov.uk/Home/Maltby/maltbyHome.aspx
The Council website used to host a forum, but it was taken offline for some reason. An unofficial forum has sprung up to replace it here. Sadly you don’t seem to be allowed to register an account at the moment.
If you would like to see minutes of the meetings of Maltby Town Council click here.
The councillors for Maltby ward of Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council are:
Amy Rushforth (Labour) who you can email on amy.rushforth@rotherham.gov.uk although in my experience she won’t reply.
Ben Slade (Independent) who you can email on benjamin.slade@rotherham.gov.uk although in my experience he won’t reply.
Will Blair (BNP) who you can email on will.blair@rotherham.gov.uk although in my experience he won’t reply.
I’ve lived in Maltby through two local elections, and not had leaflets from Ms Rushforth or Mr Blair. In Ms Rushforth’s case she is at least a member of mainstream party, so I have a reasonable idea of what her politics are. In Mr Slade’s case I have not the faintest idea what he stands for, and emails to try and establish his views have come to naught. Mr Blair has at least had leaflets delivered for him (by children) – hateful as those leaflets were.

Regarding MTC Website -
My letter to them 9th March 2009 :
To whom it may concern, Maltby Town Council :
I have been advised by Mr Tim Mumford, Assistant Chief Executive of Legal and Democratic Services, at RMBC that any information that is required about Maltby Town Council can be found on their website.
I wondered if the site had been updated as I know from past correspondence and MTC meetings the situation regarding the administration.
I find howewever, that the site has not been updated since July 2008 and ask you to clarify why not, when Mr Mumford is giving advice that it is.
If there have been discussions about a new website or updating of the current one, please inform me of the dates and places of these discussions and with whom.
I wish this information to be provided in electronic format and within the time scale stated in the Freedom of Information Act.
MTC reply: 3 Apr 2009

Have you had the minutes from meetings where the website was discussed yet?
Posted by Lexia on May 14, 2009 at 15:29
No, I have not. I have sent them a reminder and an extension date – which is overdue.
(this is on the ever increasing list of “FOI’s overdue or not responded to adequately”.)
