Our county council is hoping to secure a £7M government grant to improve broadband services in the county. If secured, this grant would have to be matched by Northumberland County Council. They are hoping that the company that wins the contract to deliver the first phase of improvements will match both grants. This would mean that £28M would be available for the scheme.

Parish Council Notes - Feb 2012
The Councillors are
working on the recent parish plan questionnaires, each concentrating
on specific areas/questions. The interim results are available to
view on the website www.ovinghamparishcouncil.org.uk. The report and
plan will be finalised as soon as possible.
Progress continues with
the proposal of a seat by the bus stop at the church. However,
before any more work is carried out with quotes etc. enquiries are
being made to see if planning application is required.
P.C. Cross, our local
community officer attended the meeting in January when the problems
of cyclists on the footbridge was discussed. There is a possibility
of erecting a physical barrier as both the Police and Highways
Department feel that no matter what signs are erected, there will
always be those who choose to ignore them. Speeding through the
village was also an issue and later in the meeting, the Councillors
agreed to look at the possibility of a further interactive light.
The next meeting is due
to be held on Thursday, 15th March at 7.15pm, in the
Reading Room, but please check either the website or the notice
boards for confirmation.
