MINSTEAD ULTRAFAST BROADBAND – PROGRESS
The Community Fibre Broadband Scheme announced at the Annual Parish Meeting on 20th March is being progressed as rapidly as possible. The contract with Hampshire County Council was signed on 11th April which means we must have collected sufficient funds for the scheme to go ahead by 9th 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

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
