Amended: So, it seems that trying to set up a town of new players and allow it to function with me or someone leading it, wasn't a great idea. Initially I had wanted to provide the space for new players to use and not have that worry about walling, without me dictating how things should run or running relationships within the town etc etc. This is for 2 reasons: firstly to allow new players to find their feet, and learn from mistakes made, and secondly, cause I don't have the time to do it for them as well as my main town.
In the next week or so i'm going to be removing inactive claims from the village, and recruit other new players to join those who are still playing. If you are a newish player, want a town that's going to run mostly as a community and not for individual results, have some basic working knowledge of the game, preferably use enders so u're not dying to boars/bears every other day, with a set leadership, then message me.
The more info provided the better for me to decide, will probably only take 4-5 new players.
Thanks
