Spread the message for better Broadband in Bolney

As at 26th June, 52 people in Bolney had registered for better broadband which is a really good number compared to some local towns and villages but please spread the message for more people to back the drive by the ‘Better Connected’ partnership to win faster broadband services for West Sussex.

What have people done to show support?

Completed a registration form.

Where do I find the form?

Log on to www.westsussex.gov.uk/broadband or pick one up from your local Help Point or Library.

Why is it important to sign up?

To prove to technology suppliers that there is a demand that will make it worth them investing in the infrastructure

Why is it important?

Faster broadband will create jobs and boost the local economy. It will also reduce social isolation and help people to cut their bills by accessing on-line deals and services.

Does signing up guarantee better services?

Communities that demonstrate the strongest support are more likely to be included in the earlier stages of the Broadband improvement programme.
Registering your demand doesn’t commit you to anything but it will help to persuade suppliers it’s worth investing in the county.

We need the evidence for when we start talking to potential suppliers later this year so please sign up NOW!

Become a Parish Councillor

YOUR COMMUNITY NEEDS YOU!
NEW PARISH COUNCILLORS NEEDED
HELP US TO
 “MAKE A DIFFERENCE”

Your Parish Council works hard to maintain the environment and heritage of the Parish in which we live for the benefit of all of our residents.

The Parish Council partners with both Mid Sussex District Council and West Sussex County Council to ensure that, as far as is possible, we get the correct level of attention and services that we all pay for through our Council Tax.

This role requires a full team of Councillors to ensure that the Parish Council can continue to be proactive in meeting the needs and aspirations of our parishioners.

We currently have two vacancies on the Parish Council that need to be filled by committed individuals who are keen to help us in making progress with our plans and to “Make a Difference” for Bolney.

If you would like to discuss what being a Councillor entails then I can put you in touch with one of the Councillors will be happy to have an informal chat with you, or why not come along to a Parish Council meeting to see for yourself, every third Tuesday of the month at 8.00pm in the Rawson Hall.

If you care about Bolney and want to help and make a contribution please call or email me for further information and an application form.

We look forward to hearing from you.
