How do I subscribe to an RSS feed

An RSS feed, also known as a Web feed or Atom feed, allows you to see the headlines and summary information about various news items from our website, including the following:

 Temporary road closures

 Closure of community paths 

 Media releases

You can click on the headline to read the full item without leaving your browser-based feed reader service or desktop newsreader. And because these service automatically check for updates, you won't need to check the website again and again to find out whether there have been any important changes to it.

Browsers

Some browsers (e.g. Internet Explorer 7+ and Firefox 2+) have built-in feed readers.

For Internet Explorer version 7+, click on the RSS icon and click on ‘Subscribe to this feed’ in the yellow box. The feed is automatically added to the Feeds section of the Explorer Bar (Favourites Centre) and kept up to date.

For Firefox 2+, click on the RSS icon, choose from the drop down list where you wish to save your RSS feed.  Firefox can automatically save to ‘Live Bookmarks’.  The feed is added to the Bookmarks Toolbar Folder and kept up to date.

Why should I subscribe to a web feed?

Subscribing to a web feed offers a streamlined method of receiving content of specific interest to you. Some feed readers allow you to aggregate multiple feeds, making the process of gathering website content more efficient. Instead of visiting websites individually for new content, feed readers monitor the sites for you and provide updates in the one location.
