Christian Aid Collection and Coffee Morning Result

Here in Natland and Oxenholme we raised £2382.91 last week in the house-to-house collection (£1902.63) and at the Coffee Morning last Saturday (£481.28).

Solar power replaces kerosene lamps, Kenya.

Thank you very much to everyone who gave so generously. I have paid it into the bank already so that it can be used to help the poorest people feel that there is hope for a better life for themselves and their children.

Natland Parish Council Agenda

Here is the Agenda for the next meeting on the 28th May.

Religious Buildings Quiz Results

Only four entries had all the correct answers, the main mistake that people made was on question 16 they put down Bury St Edmunds when in fact the correct name for the Cathedral is St Edmundsbury, in the Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich.

The following names were pulled out of the basket by Tim Farron at the end of  Desert Island Disc.

3rd                 Mr David Peters                      Natland

2nd                Mrs Pam Mansfield                  Natland

1st                 Mrs R A Brown                         Burton in Lonsdale

The only other entry that was correct was from Mr and Mrs J Hunter Natland.

These are the right answers.

 

European funding for broadband gets the green light

The Connecting Cumbria superfast broadband project has at last received full Major Projects Approval from the European Commission - the last piece in the jigsaw for validating the contract with BT. Over the next 2½ years the Connecting Cumbria and BT project teams will work together to build the network necessary to allow all homes and businesses access to broadband speeds of not less than 2Mbps, with 93% properties having the opportunity to connect to superfast services. Initial preparation and survey work on the ground is already underway and draft plans for the rollout in each area are promised for the end of June.

Tim Farron's Desert Island Choices

Last Friday's audience discovered the musical tastes of our MP to be a bit of a surprise. He revealed a taste for rock music and chose songs from The Beatles, The Clash, Cocteau Twins, Prefab Sprout, Electronic, The Avalanches, The White Stripes and local group Wild Beasts, while the slightly bemused audience tapped their feet to unaccustomed rhythms.

He spoke about his early attempts to stand for parliament - the first time aged 22 - and his early political career as county and district councillor in his home county of Lancashire before winning his seat here in Westmorland. He related his political career to his Christian faith and entertained all with interesting anecdotes. The interviewer Martin Jayne presented him, a keen Blackburn Rivers fan, with a football signed by the members of the premiership champion team of 1994  as a momento of the occasion.

There's a lot going on this Saturday

Better news on broadband

After a Hub Coordinators meeting on Wednesday 8 May, our Hub Coordinator, Cath Davenport, has sent this optimistic note, although we are now definitely waiting until 21 June for detailed information about what BT plan to do next in the rural areas...

"Cumbria County Council are expecting the final decision on the Major Projects application to the EU within a week or so. It should be all systems go from then on.

One item that came from the partnership board was that once the 7% who will not be able to get superfast broadband are known commercial providers will be approached to see whether they have any plans that would improve the speeds in those areas.

At the HC meeting, we actually met the project leaders from BT. Jim Jackson of BT Openreach is in overall charge and gave an impressive presentation. He assured us that he is committed to making the project a success and that new technologies are coming on stream all the time. What might be insurmountable at the moment will be solved - one way or another. Radio may be a solution for areas a long way from cabinets/exchanges. He lives in South Westmorland and was frustrated by the slow speeds himself!  Julia Watts from BT Group was also there and she is making contact with the individual Hub Co-ordinators to find out the situation on the ground in each area.

BT and CCC are expecting to Launch the project on 21 June.  On that day the maps of each area will go public and we should know the places that are likely to be in the 7%, although Jim Jackson said that you could expect that to change and no-one really knows until the work starts."
