2 PARISH COUNCIL NEWS Dear resident,
New Website A reminder to residents that the new website, which has all Agendas, Minutes and Curdworth Criers, can be found at https://curdworthpc.btck.co.uk/.
Annual Parish Meeting Our Annual Parish meeting will be held on Thursday 4th April 2019 at 7pm at St Nicholas Church Hall. The main focus of the meeting will be to consult with residents about the production of a Neighbourhood Plan for Curdworth and how this will be of benefit to the community. We will be seeking a team of volunteers who would be willing to develop and drive a Neighbourhood Plan forward. As a meeting for residents, it is also an opportunity for you to raise issues of local concern that you would like to draw to the attention of the Parish Council.
PARISH COUNCIL MEETING The next meeting of the Parish Council will be held on Monday 11th March.
Dog Bins The Parish Council now have arrangements in hand for the employment of a resident who will be taking on the duties of emptying the dog bins on a regular basis. Many thanks to all the volunteers who have kindly donated their time to do this in the short term.
CURDWORTH COMMUNITY HEARTBEAT The next meeting of the Curdworth Community Heartbeat will be on Monday 11th March 2019 at 7.00pm at St Nicholas Church Hall (until 7.30pm).
We would still like volunteers to come along and help with the running of the group – we also need volunteers who would be willing to go on a rota to check the equipment. This might just be 10 minutes once or twice a month, but would be invaluable support.
Anyone willing to help, please come along to the meeting or contact Community Heartbeat members – Alan Vaughton, Jan Weatherley or Anne Arkell – or the Parish Council Clerk

The CSW Broadband Project has already completed the following upgrades to these communities within your parish: Cabinet / Structure Area served by upgrade Curdworth 14 Parts of Curdworth Curdworth 2 Parts of Curdworth Curdworth 3 Parts of Curdworth Curdworth 8 Parts of Curdworth Curdworth 9 Parts of Curdworth
To find out if you can get superfast broadband: 1. Check whether fibre broadband is available to you by entering your landline number or address into the BT Broadband Availability Checker. If fibre is available, either 'VDSL Range A & B' or 'WBC FTTP' will be listed in the 'Featured Products' column on the left hand side of the results table along with the maximum and minimum speeds you are likely to achieve. Our How to use the BT Broadband Availability Checker web page includes clear and concise information on how to make sense of the Availability Checker results. 2. Remember, that if fibre is available, you will need to order a fibre broadband package. You will not receive the upgraded service automatically. To find an Internet Service Provider and a fibre broadband package that suits your needs, you can use a broadband comparison site such as: MoneySavingExpert.com Broadbandchoices Broadband Genie Cable.co.uk
What are the benefits? Having access to faster broadband allows individuals, families, businesses and communities to:
• Browse the web faster • Stream HD films, TV shows, games and videos without buffering slowing you down • Talk face-to-face with friends and family using Skype, FaceTime or similar software • Compete with other businesses in the increasingly competitive global marketplace • Reduce workplace costs through remote working / working from home • Make use of a whole host of other online opportunities that wouldn’t otherwise be possible
Please Note: Even though your FTTC cabinet may have been upgraded, not every property connected to it is guaranteed to benefit due to some properties’ distances from the cabinet and/or quality of copper connections.
4 Barry Mordue 15th June 1944– 18th December 2018

They are especially grateful for the many generous donations in Barry’s name to Cancer Research UK and the Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance. A total of £2658.70 was raised in support of the two charities.

Presentation : Neighbourhood Plan for Curdworth
Would you like a Neighbourhood Plan for Curdworth?
A Neighbourhood Plan enables communities to play a stronger role in shaping the areas in which they live and work, and sits alongside the Local Plan prepared by our local planning authority. They are an opportunity to set out a positive vision for how you want your community to develop over the next 10-20 years in ways that meet identified local need and make sense for local people.
Typical things that may be in your Neighbourhood Plan would be : • Development of local housing – including restrictions on certain types of development. • Provisions for businesses . • Transport and access, including cycling, walking and disabled access. • Development of education and health provisions . • Leisure and entertainment facilities, including youth centres and village halls. • Protection and creation of open spaces, including parks, gardens, trees. • Protection of important buildings and historic assets.
Volunteers are needed to lead on the development and creation of a Neighbourhood Plan – which then needs the consent of local people through a referendum.
If you would like to find out more and are interested in volunteering, please come along the the Annual Parish meeting.
