A Newsletter for Wolds Valley Residents ISSUE 86 ● NOVEMBER 2012 Final copy date 18th November for the AnA View update from from Cllr Ryedale Janet Sanderson House December issue to:- Trevor Thomson Whether as individuals or businesses, over the last 15 years or so we have become Gypsey Cottage, Main Road, Weaverthorpe, increasingly dependent upon the internet. The speed at which data can be up or downloaded YO17 8EY can be critical (especially for business) and, to that end, those of us in rural communities have Telephone: 01944 738804 fallen markedly behind our urban cousins. Put simply lack of high speed broadband (‘hsbb’) is Email: [email protected] a barrier to growth and investment. (DISCLAIMER: Any correspondence/articles To their credit, both the District and County Councils have been working hard to take advantage printed in the Warbler are entirely the of a central government initiative to deliver hsbb to rural areas. This was to be (and may still responsibility of the contributor) be) achieved using satellite or wireless technology and delivered by independent internet service providers (‘ISPs’). Encouragingly, several months ago, the Wolds was selected as the priority area for hsbb delivery and work should have by now commenced. However, in recent weeks, the matter has become a little complicated. British Telecom have now got involved with a ‘fibre to the cabinet’ (as opposed to wireless/satellite) scheme which is earmarked for rural market towns. It is not certain how far this scheme will extend out into the countryside. Frustratingly, this has led to a pause as the competing providers wait to find out. At both the District and County Councils, both Janet & I will continue to keep up the pressure on this project. In the meantime, and if you haven’t done so already, please ‘log on’ to http://www.northyorks.gov.uk/broadbandsurvey so we can let the powers that be know how important hsbb is to us. As before, please feel free to contact me at [email protected] regarding any issue that falls within the District Council’s control. We URGENTLY need a distributor for West Lutton. To deliver 50 copies along the main road and adjoining areas. If you can help, please contact the Warbler on 01944 738804.
