Community Fibre Broadband Scheme

We are still short of the total that needs to be paid by the end of this week and really do need those of you who have already pledged to pay, to do so now.

Everybody needs to consider that the scheme will fail and the properties on the CFBS list will not have FTTP available unless we can all raise the required total.

Please contact the Chairman of the Parish Council on 07751064493 or email minsteadchairman@gmail.com for details of how to contribute your share, or to make a goodwill donation.

The current situation may be seen here.

In addition you can see that PCSO Richard Williams is keen to visit as many of the more vulnerable people in our community in May and June to talk to them about being scammed and about how best to stop it. So if you know someone who might benefit from a visit and a chat then please email him at richard.williams@hampshire.pnn.police.uk

McDonalds will provide the bags and litterpicking sticks. Everyone is welcome.

Any questions please email tessakeeley1@gmail.com

LOCAL ELECTIONS

The four-yearly, all-out, elections for New Forest District Council and Town and Parish Councils in the District will be held this Thursday 2 May 2019. Polling stations will be open from 7.00 a.m. – 10.00 p.m.

For the first time for many years there will be an election for Minstead Parish Council at Polling Station No. 17, Minstead Hall!

This will be the only election in Minstead this time, our District Councillor having already been elected unopposed.

Click HERE for further information.

MINSTEAD COMMUNITY SHOP

In another fund-raising effort the Minstead Community Shop opened a Pop-up café on the Village Green on Easter Saturday and Sunday.  It was a considerable success with takings over £450 for the two days, although we had significant set-up costs for our first Pop-up Café we still made a profit of around £150.  We expected improved profits going forwards.

Many, many thanks to the ladies of the village (and we think it was all ladies) for the delicious cakes and savouries that they contributed.

Thank you to all those who helped by serving at the stall, putting up Peter Bennett’s gazebo and of course all those who patronised the stall.

Most thanks go to Annabel Bruxner-Randall for a massive effort over many weeks in making it happen.

We will be running the Pop-up Café again over the next Bank Holiday weekend on Sunday, 5^th May from 10.30am to 2.30pm or later.

The Working Group extends its thanks for all your ideas, support and not least patience, we shall keep you updated on our endeavours.  If you wish to contact the Working Group please use our email: minsteadcommunityshop@gmail.com or speak to any members of the working group.

COMMUNITY FIBRE BROADBAND SCHEME

We are continuing to collect contributions for the Scheme and although there is still a bit of a way to go we are making progress and have collected or had pledges for over 65% of the total needed.

Again, many thanks to all those who have supported the scheme which we continue to believe represents outstandingly good value for money for providing ultrafast broadband to most of the community.

If you still have questions about the scheme we have included a section of Frequently asked Questions on the dedicated page on the Village website https://minstead.org.uk/broadband/

This page also includes the latest “totaliser” which is updated daily so you can keep an eye on progress.

Please consider the advantages that this ultrafast connection could bring you, your family and the wider community and contact us either by emailing minsteadchairman@gmail.com or by using the online form at http://ultrafast.minstead.org.uk/ to discuss your potential participation.

ALL SAINTS CHURCH

Click HERE to see the latest notices for All Saints Church and the Benefice. Please note that as from and including Sunday 5^th of May, by decision of the 3 PCCs, there will be changes in the service times around the Benefice.

LOCAL ELECTIONS – POSTAL VOTES

A few reminders if you are a postal voter:

1. You must sign, and write your Date of Birth on the Postal Vote Statement (PVS). The signature must be the one with which you applied for a postal vote, and it needs your Date of Birth, NOT today’s date. 
2. Then mark X’s on the Ballot Paper and seal the Ballot Paper into Envelope A.
3. Finally put Envelope A and your completed PVS into envelope B, seal that and post it.

Community Fibre Broadband Scheme
We are hard at work collecting monies for this Scheme from those on the CFBS list, and from those generous and community-minded enough to make voluntary contributions to help bring it to fruition.
If you have already made a payment “Thank you very much”.
If not, would you consider the advantages that this Ultrafast connection could bring you, your family and the wider community and contact us either by emailing minsteadchairman@gmail.com or by using the online form at http://ultrafast.minstead.org.uk/ to discuss your potential participation?
So far we have raised only 40% of the £106,698 required to make this connection possible.

COMMUNITY SHOP QUIZ NIGHT

The Quiz Night on 13^th April was attended by over 90 members of the Minstead community and raised nearly £900 pounds for its funding of a Community Shop in Minstead.  The winners were the “Fleetwood Fools”, the runners-up “The Olorenshaws”.

Very many thanks to everyone who supported the occasion.

MINSTEAD ULTRAFAST BROADBAND – PROGRESS

The Community Fibre Broadband Scheme announced at the Annual Parish Meeting on 20^th March is being progressed as rapidly as possible.  The contract with Hampshire County Council was signed on 11^th April which means we must have collected sufficient funds for the scheme to go ahead by 9^th May.  We have written to all households who are eligible to benefit asking for firm commitments and we are now following up with house to house visits to answer any further queries.  We have also asked the wider community for support.

The background to and details of the scheme can be read by clicking HERE on the Village website.

Please let us know as soon as possible if you wish to contribute so we can progress this unique offer which will be of huge benefit to the community. The best ways of doing this are:

Using the online form at

https://minstead.org.uk/minstead-community-fibre-scheme/

 FRIENDS OF LYNDHURST SURGERY – ECG APPEAL

FOLS has just recently received a request from the surgery to purchase a new ECG machine, complete with attachments as necessary, as the present piece of equipment which was provided and maintained by FOLS, is now on its last stages of practical use and beyond economic repair.  It will cost FOLS around £2,500, a very large sum for such a small local charity, but so vital for the surgery and for the benefit of us all, meaning that patients can be tested at the surgery without having to attend one of our local hospitals

We have instructed the surgery to purchase the new machine to ensure there is a working ECG available to them at all times. We ask that you help us to find the additional funding necessary to purchase and maintain the device, whilst still servicing all the equipment we have already purchased

We will, of course keep you informed of our progress towards the £2,500 target through posters and information at the surgery

Please contact Davis Wilson Chair, Friends of Lyndhurst Surgery through the surgery number 023 8028 2689

RUBBISH COLLECTIONS

There have been some recent incidents reported of forest animals attacking rubbish bags put out for collection.

Although most in Minstead will know already, for the benefit of newcomers the advice from NFDC is to leave your sacks just inside your property for collection to prevent them being torn apart by animals.  The collection teams are well aware that you need to do this. If you are concerned that birds or animals will tear open bags, you can place them in a dustbin at the boundary of your property. Your collection team will take the sacks and replace the lids. Please do not leave your rubbish in a wheelie bin for collection as it will not be taken. If you have a wheelie bin, please remove your rubbish sacks before collection.

For further information about the riveting subjects of recycling, rubbish, waste disposal and fly-tipping click HERE and have a look at the page on the Village website.
