Carol Griffiths suggested that we should have a place where everyone could share their Diamond Jubilee photos. It should be easy to use and allow anyone to upload and download high-resolution photos. To find out more click here or on the Diamond Jubilee Photo Album link on the right.

The Clunbury Village Hall meeting held last night was well attended. Phil Wright, The Village Hall Committee Chairman described and demonstrated the improvements that had been made to the Hall thanks to the grant received. There was discussion about how the remaining improvement money should be spent and about expanding the programme of events held at the Hall. A number of new committee members were co-opted.

A campaign is being launched by Shropshire Council to encourage residents and businesses to pledge their support for bringing better broadband to Shropshire. The more people register their support the more chance we have of seeing improvements so please follow the link below and complete the questionnaire.

The aim is that every household and business will have access to the industry-standard level of broadband, with as many properties as possible having access to a superfast broadband service, by the end of 2015.

The Government has ploughed £8.2 million into the Connecting Shropshire project, with the same being invested by Shropshire Council, and the campaign has now reached a crucial stage. For more information click here.
