This primarily affects those with very slow broadband speed who applied for a voucher from Connecting Devon and Somerset before the end of November 2016, but have not yet been connected to the Rural Broadband Southwest wireless network or to any other alternative to wired broadband. The deadline for redeeming vouchers (i.e. the time by which the installation had to be completed and billed to CDS) has now been extended to 30 September 2017. (It is likely that the voucher scheme will be reopened for new applications at some point, but we have no idea when.)

People within earshot of the Parish Church will have noticed that the clock strike has been very unreliable recently. It turns out that this is due to an unravelling weight cable which is snagging in its shaft and tripping the winder. The strike will be silent until this is fixed, though the chimes should continue.

The old website served us well for many years (thanks Alfred!), but we needed something that could be read equally well on devices of all sizes, and that enabled us to hand over the editing of pages to individuals and organisations. While we were at it, we wanted to make it as clear and easy to navigate as possible.
