Municipality of Šardice

Key website features:

Online official notice board

Current official documents are available online, together with their publication and removal dates and relevant categories. Residents can access important municipal documents in one place.

Municipal council records and audio recordings

Alongside meeting minutes and adopted resolutions, the website provides audio recordings of municipal council meetings. Residents can therefore revisit not only the decisions made but also the discussions that led to them.

Participatory budgeting

“Naše Šardice” participatory budgeting initiative allows residents to propose their own projects and vote on them.

Public address announcements online

Announcements broadcast over the local public address system remain available on the website. Residents can revisit important notices, service updates and event invitations whenever they need to.

Overview of development projects

The website presents municipal investment projects together with supporting documentation. Visitors can explore ongoing developments as well as completed investments.

Photos and videos

An extensive collection of visual content includes a photo gallery organised by year, and a video gallery. Together, these features create a lasting digital archive of life in Šardice.

Essential information for residents in one place

One of the website’s main purposes is to organise the large amount of information regularly published by the municipality. The homepage distinguishes between content for residents and visitors, providing quick access to the official notice board, public address announcements and the latest updates.

Other practical resources include contact details for municipal employees and their areas of responsibility, downloadable forms, the electronic filing office, Czech POINT services and information about local public services. Together with other online tools, these sections make the website a central point of contact between residents and the municipality.

The contact section also provides details for municipal representatives, office staff, the library, museum, technical services and waste collection centre.

Online official notice board and public documents

An important part of the website is its online official notice board. Each entry includes its publication period and category, while attached documents can be opened or downloaded directly. These include public notices, municipal property proposals, election information and budget documents.

The official section is complemented by other publicly available municipal information and documents. This makes the website not only a source of current announcements but also a long-term reference point for materials relating to local government.

Greater transparency in municipal council activities

The work of the municipal council has its own dedicated section. Alongside information about council members and its operations, meeting minutes and resolutions are publicly available and organised by year.

One particularly useful feature is the availability of audio recordings of council meetings. Residents can listen to recordings of individual sessions to gain a more detailed understanding of the discussions and decision-making processes behind council resolutions. The archive contains recordings spanning several years.

This section goes beyond the standard publication of official documents, offering an additional level of transparency in local government.

Making room for residents’ ideas

Another interesting feature is the “Naše Šardice” participatory budgeting initiative. The municipality allocates part of its budget to projects proposed by residents. Suggestions can focus on improving public spaces, sports and leisure facilities, infrastructure or the local environment.

The website explains the entire process, provides the necessary forms and rules, and supports public online voting on projects that meet the requirements. The section also includes an overview of proposals implemented in previous years.

Rather than serving as a one-way communication channel, the website therefore helps residents take an active role in shaping the future of their community.

Development projects and investments at a glance

A dedicated section of the website focuses on the development of Šardice. Visitors can explore municipal investment projects, including those currently underway and those already completed.

Individual project pages also provide access to supporting materials. For ongoing investments, these can include technical reports, site plans, profiles and other project documentation.

Alongside everyday information, the website therefore offers insight into the municipality’s long-term development and investments.

Public address announcements available on demand

The website complements the traditional local public address system with a digital archive of its announcements. Information that would otherwise only be available at the time of broadcast remains accessible to residents afterwards.

Users can look back at operational notices, service information, planned interruptions, cultural and community events, and other important updates. Individual announcements are published as separate posts, creating a continuously updated archive.

The website also links to a fault-reporting service, through which residents can report problems in public spaces.

A lasting digital archive of life in Šardice

The Šardice website is not limited to information that is relevant today. A substantial part of its content documents life in the village over a much longer period.

The photo gallery is organised by year and preserves images from local events and activities. A separate video gallery features reports and recordings of cultural, community and other municipal events, with some videos linked to external sources such as YouTube or regional television.

The extensive archive is complemented by the municipal newsletter, with past issues available by year.

Šardice as both a municipality and a place to visit

Alongside its administrative and service-oriented sections, the website introduces Šardice itself. The homepage provides basic information about the village, its location, history and winemaking traditions, while directing visitors towards tourist attractions and the local information centre.

The tourism section offers much more than basic contact details. It introduces local landmarks, sports facilities, wineries, tourist destinations, cycle routes and other leisure opportunities. Dedicated content covers places such as the Augustinian Residence, Moravian Tuscany and local religious monuments.

The website therefore serves two distinct purposes: a practical online resource for residents and a digital starting point for anyone wishing to discover Šardice.

Keeping up with life in the village

News and updates on the homepage are complemented by a calendar of cultural and community events. Alongside operational and official information, visitors can discover upcoming activities taking place in the village.

Together with public address announcements, the municipal newsletter, photo galleries and videos, the website provides an overview of both current and past events in Šardice.

One digital hub for the entire community

The result is a comprehensive municipal website that serves several different purposes. It acts as a source of official information, a gateway to practical services, a tool for greater transparency in local government and an archive of life in Šardice.

Residents can access official documents, listen to municipal council meeting recordings, explore local government finances, participate in community budgeting, follow development projects or revisit public address announcements. Visitors can use the same website to learn about the village’s history, tourist attractions and local events.

The Šardice website therefore serves as a practical digital hub for the municipality, an open source of public information and a lasting record of local life. 

We would like to thank the representatives of Šardice for their trust and collaboration throughout the website development process.
