AVOCET LINE
Changes to Lympstone station should include a second shelter and flowers replanted in their holders. Unfortunately changes to the platform height have been deferred again.
Usage figures indicate an 8.5% increase in the number of passengers between Exmouth and Exeter in the earlier part of this year.
(Update from Cllr Hughes).
BROADBAND
BT has announced changes in it’s Broadband Systems Operations (surely
this should be Marketing, Ed) that means that EVERYONE in Lympstone should now
be able to get it. This means that even people like my friend John, whose BT
line seems to consist of two, quarter mile long, sea soaked, pieces of
string, should qualify. If one checks on-line even BT’s automatic line checker
should say OK when you put your own number in. Please let me know if you find
this is not true for you.
BT requested permission to route a fibre optic cable from Greenhill Ave to the Primary School at the last Parish Council Meeting: so even the school will have a really high-speed link to the internet.
REVISIONS TO RESIDENTS’ PARKING SCHEMES
A uniform county-wide approach to residents' parking schemes has been approved by Devon County Council. Amongst the many changes is one stating that the issue of permits by electronic means will also be encouraged. Everyone applying via the internet will receive a 20% discount.
