There will be road closures at Church Row and Hatchett Hill, Hinton Parva, between 18-22 March to enable these works to take place. See MoreSee Less
Fibre voucher scheme – installation progress reportWe have just received a report from Openreach, summarised below.Sadly there is no timeline for resolution, but we expect to receive ongoing reports and will keep you informed. Some of the works mentioned will require permissions from landowners, which may take a little time. Parish Councillors are doing all they can to help with gaining permissions.Hinton Parva.There is a blockage for the main feed cable on the route from the area of the village hall up to the junction with Church Row. This will need a permit and looks to be done on a weekend when traffic is minimal. There are outstanding groundwork issues where we need to excavate down a small narrow footpath. Groundworks also required at the Hatchett Hill/Hinton Hill junction. All other work has been completed we are just waiting on some of the issues so we can test and commission the build and make it live.Bishopstone.All of the poling has been complete apart from a decayed pole that still needs to be replaced. There is a little bit of ground work to be completed around Church Walk so we can avoid having a pole there (this was requested by Parish Council). There is some minor work still to be completed but nothing that will take a long time once complete we can make the network live. See MoreSee Less
