Friend’s constituency, because this Government have put the resources behind Thursday 16 November 2017 the superfast programme, but we are obviously reliant on local authorities, and, in the case of Scotland, the Scottish Government, to deliver the superfast programme. The House met at half-past Nine o’clock But we have always said that superfast gives good connectivity to as many people as possible as quickly as PRAYERS possible, but full fibre is the future, and the fact that Aberdeen is in the pilot is good news for his constituents. [MR SPEAKER in the Chair] Alex Burghart: I am grateful to the Secretary of State Mr Speaker: On today’s Order Paper it is noted that for her answer. People and businesses in my constituency on 18 November 1917, Captain The Hon. Neil James are hungry for full-fibre broadband; when will they Archibald Primrose, PC, MC, Royal Bucks Hussars, get it?

Superfast broadband not left behind and lose out on superfast broadband? coverage will extend beyond that to at least another 2% of premises. For those not covered by superfast Karen Bradley: My Department speaks regularly to broadband, we will ensure universal broadband coverage the Welsh Government, who, as with the Scottish of at least 10 megabits. Government in Scotland, have responsibility for delivering Ross Thomson: I thank the Secretary of State for that superfast broadband across Wales. They will have heard answer, and I am delighted that Aberdeen is one of six the hon. Gentleman’s comments, and I am sure they will pilot areas for superfast reliable full-fibre broadband, act upon them. which can offer speeds as high as 1 gigabit. However, at a time when the Scottish Government’s slow roll-out of Mrs Kemi Badenoch (Saffron Walden) (Con): I am superfast broadband has left my constituency with one pleased to hear the Secretary of State talk about superfast of the worst broadband speeds in the UK for an urban broadband coverage. Superfast Essex will provide coverage constituency—as well as the city being Europe’s energy for 95% of the county, but what is being done to provide capital—does the Secretary of State share my belief access to the 5% of residents in Essex, many of whom that this UK Government investment is vital to boosting live in rural areas in my constituency, who desperately connectivity in Aberdeen? require improved connectivity? 555 Oral Answers 16 NOVEMBER 2017 Oral Answers 556 Karen Bradley: I am very pleased that Superfast hon.

I also urge my hon. Friend and her constituency neighbours in Julian Knight (Solihull) (Con): Nurturing diversity is Essex to encourage take-up of superfast broadband, key to our vibrant creative industries, and access to because, as people take up access to it, money then those industries. Will the Minister join me in urging the comes back into the system to connect even more new chief executive of Channel 4, Alex Mahon, to premises to superfast broadband. adopt a different approach from that of her predecessor by putting diversity and access to the industry at the top Brendan O’Hara (Argyll and Bute) (SNP): Will the of her wish list as she considers relocation to the likes of Secretary of State explain why the UK Government’s Birmingham and Solihull? contribution to the Scottish Government’s broadband roll-out project is just £21 million, an amount less than that awarded to Devon and Somerset? Will she join me Karen Bradley: I think we have a question on Channel 4’s in applauding the scale of the Scottish Government’s location later. Channel 4 has done incredibly great work ambition to achieve 30 megabits per second for every when it comes to diversity. Its on-screen talent includes Scottish household? Does she not think that the people people with disabilities, people from black, Asian and of England deserve that level of ambition from their minority ethnic backgrounds and people of different Government? sexualities. It has been very good at promoting diversity, and I want to pay tribute to it for the work that it has Karen Bradley: This is about delivery of superfast done. Across the industry as a whole, more diversity broadband, not just ambition, and I am afraid that the would mean more creativity, and that is a message that Scottish Government are behind on every single measure the whole industry must listen to—and that diversity compared with other areas—[Interruption.] The hon. may possibly be located outside London. Gentleman talks about money, money, money but the important point is that this is about delivery. Other John Spellar (Warley) (Lab): In order to progress local authorities and areas have been able to deliver, and their careers,creative artists need lots of work opportunities.

    Rt Hon Matt Hancock MP Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport House of Commons, London, SW1A 0AA Thursday 11 January 2018 Dear Mr Hancock. RE – Northern Cultural Regeneration Fund consideration, Bradford Odeon My name is Si Cunningham, and I am the Chair of Bradford Civic Society. Since 1942, our group has existed to preserve Bradford’s heritage and promote a more beautiful built environment for the city. Bradford has suffered setbacks and economic hardships over the last few decades, yet when I took over as Chairman last year I made a pledge to look to the future and identify opportunities for tangible, positive change. That’s why I’m writing to you today – to urge the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport to award the shortlisted Bradford Odeon project the maximum possible funding from the Government’s Northern Cultural Regeneration Fund. This project will provide the West Yorkshire region with a flagship 4,500 capacity venue capable of hosting a variety of cultural attractions, bringing families back into our city centre and acting as a much-needed catalyst for wider regeneration – as restaurants, hotels and cafes open in the area. Complementing the Alhambra Theatre, National Science and Media Museum, and the magnificent City Hall, the Odeon could become the city’s iconic fourth grace – all framed beautifully by that world-renowned shared space of ours, City Park. Furthermore, a rejuvenated Bradford Odeon will be symbolic of the city’s rebirth as a cultural powerhouse and will inspire a whole new generation of Bradfordians – from all backgrounds – to immerse themselves in the creative industries.

    Photo Cathryn Bell Photo Cathryn Bell 2 Welcome to our first edition of 2019; sadly, our break did not include a tour of the Caribbean onboard the company yacht. However, since our relaunch last summer, things have gone well and we are very grateful to all our advertisers and supporters helping us to almost triple our print run. Sincere apologies if you have struggled to get a copy at times but the aim is to increase production. We want to maintain a true community magazine for Idle and Thackley that is content led with local issues foremost, not simply full of adverts; Captain Bill’s yacht will have to wait. Locally, almost the same time that Barclays closed their doors for good, the criminal element nearly blew the doors off the Post Office, taking the cash machine. The damage was horrific and had anybody been on-site the consequences are unimaginable. Sarj and the team would like to express their thanks for the heart- warming support from the local community. The Post Office is all we have now in terms of a local banking provision now so we should value this. Elsewhere, there is plenty going on with a smart conversion to offices of the Idle Coniston building plus plans for a bistro and a micropub in Thackley too. This issue contains all the old favourites plus the story of the Bradford Odeon, a building that defied many who sought to flatten it. Our new What’s On page aims to provide a directory of activities for young and old so help us publicise your activity.

  • Dementia Awareness
    2 One of the joys of producing The Trumpit is being en route to the printer, suddenly realising you’ve forgotten to include something and its too late! If anybody spotted the “deliberate” omission last month, you win a free copy of The Trumpit. We had intended to include a picture of the old folks enjoying afternoon tea and cakes on us at the Stonebridge complex in Idle – we cocked up – sorry. This month we correct this and also include the residents of Joseph Wright Court in Thackley too. Thanks to Idle Coffee Lounge and McCallans plus all contributors to the Bill Craven Memorial Fund. In last month’s issue we told of Bradford Council’s plans to spend over £15m of your money on pet projects thinly disguised as sport with sod all in BD10 – no change there then. We challenged the great leader, Hapless Hinchcliffe but, as with most of her kind, she ducked and dived like a modern-day Arthur Daley. As for any hope of local input, our very own Cllr Sunderland also seems somewhat reluctant to comment.
