New Cllrs for Old Newton following election May 2019 - Following the June Parish Council meeting the Parish Council are pleased to announce that two parishioners have been co-opted onto the Parish Council and welcome Mr Andrew Perkowski and Dr Michael Helliwell as our newest Parish Councillors with immediate effect.
New Cllr for Old Newton - The Parish Council is very pleased to announce that Mr James Harbidge has been co-opted onto the Parish Council for the position of Cllr for Old Newton (Sept 2017)
New Cllr for Old Newton - The Parish Council is very pleased to announce that Mr Tony Arnold has been co-opted onto the Parish Council for the position of Cllr for Old Newton (June 2017)
Broadband - Cllr Stringer and Mr Arnold have been informed that the Stowmarket P33 FTTP PON was made Customer Ready-for-Service (CRFS) on Monday 3rd April 2017. Please note, however, that it can take up to two weeks for retail service providers (RSPs) to recognise new structures that have been made CRFS, before the Retail Service Providers are able to accept orders. To avoid frustrations with the ordering process, it is recommended that people wait until after Easter before trying to place orders. Once an order is accepted, it usually takes about two weeks to get an appointment for an engineer to install customer premises equipment (CPE) and make the final fibre connection to the property. When ordering, customers should review the services and prices available from different retail service providers (ie shop around to get the best deal).
As well as a choice of retail service providers, customers will have a choice of speed, service bundle and price to suit their requirements. Those customer that wish to make telephone calls over the fibre connection, should order that facility at the same time as they order their broadband upgrade. Living rurally can present many challenges; Old Newton should shortly have one less obstacle to allow our businesses and home lives to thrive. If anyone would like Cllr Stringer to call and explain further please get in touch, he is happy to call on you at any time to suit you.
New Cllr for Old Newton - The Parish Council is very pleased to announce that Mr Richard Lawson has been co-opted onto the Parish Council for the position of Cllr for Old Newton (March 2017)
New Cllr for Gipping - The Parish Council is very pleased to announce that Mrs Kerry Baker has been co-opted onto the Parish Council for the position of Cllr for Gipping. (August 2016)
Housing Needs Survey - The Clerk has been provided by Community Action Suffolk (CAS) the results of our recent survey. The statistics that have come out are detailed below for information.
There are currently 15 households claiming a local connection on gateway to home choice. Indicating a combined need of up to 30 new houses. CAS recommendation would be to bring forward circa 10 new houses to begin with. The full report to be issued to all Cllrs, however it has been stressed that the owners of the report remains CAS and we are not allowed to share the full report. Anyone who believes they should be provided a full copy of the report need to contact Sunila Osborne at CAS where they can discuss / purchase a copy. The Parish Council's next step will be to arrange a meeting with the working committee and CAS to discuss possible sites within the village.
