Minstead eNewsletter 12^th July 2020

MINSTEAD ULTRAFAST (FTTP) BROADBAND

The letter below was sent to try to encourage better communication, action, and responses.

We have received replies from The Verderers, Natural England, and Openreach. 

All promise progress in the near future but as yet there are no firm dates.  

We will continue to try to get solid information on this issue.

“”

From: Minstead Parish Council                                               29/06/2020

Open Plea to all Stakeholders Involved in Building Fibre to the Premises Broadband Infrastructure in Minstead.

Openreach

Natural England

Forestry England

Verderers of the New Forest

Hampshire County Council 

New Forest NPA

The Rt Hon Dr. Julian Lewis MP

This is a plea for help from Minstead Parish Council.

We understand that work by Openreach building broadband infrastructure in the New Forest (including Minstead) has been severely restricted and delayed due to issues working on nationally and internationally important designated sites.  We also understand that this issue is being discussed at ‘National Level’ by the various ‘stakeholders’ – Openreach, Natural England, Forestry England, The Verderers of the New Forest, and Hampshire County Council.  This is a long running problem and no progress has been made in the last six months.

Please can all those involved in this issue remember that their actions have real effects on real people and be mindful of the extraordinary impact non-fulfilment of this build is having on beleaguered residents.

Sort out the issues as quickly as possible and build the broadband we have been promised, the broadband we desperately need, the broadband which has become essential for almost every aspect of our modern lives.

Regards

Richard Taylor – Vice Chairman, Minstead Parish Council

MINSTEAD OIL JULY

If you need heating oil before September, please send your requirement to minsteadoil@gmail.com by 9am on Wednesday 15^th July.

Anticipated delivery will be 10 working days but I will inform you of the price, supplier and expected delivery once the orders have been placed.

September orders should be with me by 9am on Wednesday 16^th September. 

SPORTING PRACTICE (e.g. GOLF)

Minstead Parish Council would urge all of our sporting parishioners to exercise common sense and restraint when practicing.  Please make sure you don’t propel potentially dangerous objects into areas where both livestock and the public may roam free.  The authorities have enough to worry about right now – let’s not waste their time on this. 

CENSUS 2021 RECRUITMENT

The first phase of Census 2021 recruitment in England and Wales has started and the Office for National Statistics needs your help to recruit local people.

Local people make the census, and ONS will be hiring thousands of people over the coming months.  Anyone who is interested in any of the roles can register now at  www.censusjobs.co.uk   

The first adverts for the census engagement manager roles go live on the website above from 7 July 2020.  The deadline to apply for these roles is 31 July 2020.  The salary range for these roles is from £18.87 to £24.56 per hour dependent on location.  The contracted hours are 37 per week, the hours are flexible but will include some evening and weekend work.

You will see adverts locally, in the press, and on social media.  ONS have asked that local authorities share these details as widely as possible.

Keep an eye on the New Forest Heart Facebook Page for the latest from our police and don’t hesitate to contact them if there is anything you think they can help you with. Sadly crime of all kinds continues.

THE CURATE’S NOTEBOOK

The Curate’s Notebook (handed to Revd. David in September by a woman who didn’t leave her name) has now been passed to an expert in the conservation of historic documents. The work to be done is delicate and will take many months. In due course, the book will be available for reading /viewing. The possibility has been discussed of digitising the information so that it will be accessible to all.

Though this is the original book, a copy in full exists in the Winchester  Records Office. So someone in the past had copied the entire book out by hand.   How intriguing.

MADE IN CORNWALL

Departing from tradition this play, written by Nigel Pascoe, was performed as a Radio Production in Lyndhurst last week to raise funds for All Saints Church Minstead Tower Repair Fund.  All members of the cast were from either Minstead Players or Lyndhurst Drama Society and it was directed by Michele Arkle.

This dramatic story about society’s interaction with mental health, prejudice and passion was extremely well supported and I am delighted to say that £1,595. 95 has been raised for the Fund.   Included in this figure was £638 from the raffle and silent auction that was run by Peter and Helen Bennett.

We would like to thank St Michaels and All Angels Church Lyndhurst for their support and co-operation with this enterprising production and also huge thanks for the wonderful raffle prizes and donations from the villages. There were over thirty prizes on each night and this contributed greatly to the successful fundraising.

 

Special Request for local grazing for 8-10 weeks in Spring

“I am passionate about restoring and maintaining my fields in Minstead and in keeping with NFNPA policies.
I use an organic new forest seed as recommended by the NFNPA and over the years have only manually weed controlled.
This year I aim to over-seed and rest all the fields so I need to rent some land for my 3 animals for a couple of months.
If this is possible I would be very grateful.”

ALL SAINTS CHURCH

Nigel Pascoe’s Premiere of “Made In Cornwall”, that played to rapturous applause on 9^th and 10^th, earned £1595.95 towards the All Saints’ Tower fund.

Many thanks to Nigel, the production team and cast as well as to all who attended and contributed to the fundraising.
