Sambourne Village

Sambourne War Memorial

The accompanying image shows the dedication of the memorial, which is now a listed monument.

This took place 100 years ago on Christmas Day 1919.

Power interruptions

These are caused by high voltage supplies tripping and being automatically re-routed from elsewhere - hence the short outage.
The problems are almost certainly caused by tree branches being blown into power lines by the blustery winds.
Western Power would be grateful if anyone seeing a possible issue reports it.

If you are concerned that a branch may be close to a power line, please call 0800 096 3080
If there are definite signs of a problem - sparking, burning or smoking please use the emergency number 0800 6783 105 .

FTTP Superfast Broadband in Middletown

From Middletown to The Bromsgrove Road can now be connected to Superfast Broadband. The service is called Fibre To The Premises (FTTP) which means no copper wire in the route - fibre the whole way.

CSW have provided a couple of links which may help residents.
The CSW website .
There is also the diary entry by someone who had FTTP installed .
This is very detailed and describes the installation, mentions possible issues and gives advice about shopping around for a service provider deal.

A resident in Sambourne has recently had FTTP broadband installed with no problems.

What speed is the service providing? A breathtaking 100+ Mbps!

Studley Bulk Waste Facility

As from December 2018 anyone wishing to use this service will be required to show a permit. This will be the only proof of entitlement that will be accepted.

The permit will be in the December edition of The Link in an enclosure titled Studley Voice. This will be distributed in late November. The permit is printed on the inside back page of The Studley Voice. It has an embossed foil symbol - to prevent photocopying.

Please keep this safe as the issue is a one-off and no spares will be available.
