There has been a “mix-up” about dates and the meeting is

We hope as many Dallington residents as possible will come along as this is certainly a “once in a lifetime event,” and we hope to make the Celebration as memorable as possible.

We will be holding an informal meeting (not a parish council meeting) in the Village Hall on 06.04.22 at 7pm. This is to discuss with Dallington residents what sort of event (at the Recreation Ground) they would like to celebrate the Queen’s 70th Jubilee.
Can you pass this information on to anyone who does not receive email alerts.
Hope to see you there.

This is an update to my post (yesterday) about Ultrafast broadband in Dallington and Mountfield.
I jumped the gun somewhat after getting the flyer yesterday when the parishes of Netherfield, Ninfield, Brightling, Ashburnham, Penhurst, Catsfield, Dallington and Mountfield were mentioned. However, Openreach work on telephone exchanges and not parish boundaries, all these parishes were noted on the flyer (only delivered to certain post codes) as some residents of the parishes are connected to the Brightling and Ashburnham telephone exchanges.
I have spoken to Andrew Wedmore (Chair of Brightling PC) today – who has worked tirelessly over the past few years on this project – please click on the link below to see an email from Andrew which shows the post codes that can be connected, through the voucher scheme, at the present time.
There is also a link from Andrew’s email showing FAQs.

Ultrafast broadband voucher scheme FAQs
I believe that we cannot have a two tier system for broadband and every resident of Dallington and Mountfield must have the opportunity to apply for this voucher scheme. I intend to pursue this matter with Openreach – “the next hill that I die on.”
Just as an aside, you can find out which telephone exchange you are connected to by going to the following site – just put your post code in.

Very excited about this. There has been tremendous work by Brightling and Ashburnham & Penhurst Parish Councils on this issue for a long time and they deserve a massive shout out.
There are many of us in our parishes who get what is not exactly Ultrafast Broadband, although it may well be called that. I have just tested my broadband (on my laptop) and I get 35.29Mbps download and 6.54Mbps download – not what I would call Ultrafast!
You can check your broadband speed by going to the site below
BT Wholesale Broadband Speed Checker
This offer guarantees Ultrafast and FIBRE TO PREMISES, most of us have fibre to cabinet. I’ve just pooled my voucher into the scheme and have classed myself as a business (parish clerk to two councils).
I know for a fact that there are graphic designers, architects, draughtspersons etc., who have real problems working from home without Ultrafast broadband (fibre to premises).
Please do read the document below, it will give you full details on how to pool your voucher and IT WON’T COST YOU A PENNY!

Even if you don’t see the benefit of Ultrafast broadband for your particular circumstances – please do pool your voucher into the scheme, it will benefit so many others.
