This month we look at cyber-based scams, including phishing emails and sextortion. We include a reminder of our Community Grants Programme which is ending soon and look at Census 2021 which is coming to all households on the 21st March. We also hear from a Coordinator in Derbyshire who began his scheme in April 2019 and now has 71% of his village signed up as members!

With all of the above and much more, we hope you enjoy reading our newsletter and would love to hear from you on what you would like to read more of. Please send your suggestions to deborah.waller@ourwatch.org.uk.

The Four Steps to Freedom - REISSUED

I don't know what went wrong with the previous email - let's try again with a different picture.

 

We await information re the May PC meeting but it looks like we'll be holding the July one at the hall.

 

 

We have a new street name!

 We have been advised that the new development at Bell House Farm will be called:

      HONEY BEE CLOSE

This was one of the four names initially put forward for consultation. 

 

It was the least liked name when the parish councillors discussed the matter.

 

The developer has the final say when it comes to street naming.

ADVERTISMENT FEATURE - GIGACLEAR

 If anyone's thinking of installing Gigaclear broadband, they have a reasonably good offer on at present - 200 for £25:

https://www.gigaclear.com/valentines2021

THIS ROMANCE WON'T HANG AROUND - Offer ends 15th February

We could all use a little bit of tlc right now - your broadband included. So, from 11th-15th February, we're supercharging your streaming with 200Mbps of superfast speeds for just £25 a month fixed for 18 months*.

USE OFFER CODE: BROADBANDBLISS

Although apparently the T+Cs state it's for new customers only, the posting at Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/gigaclear/posts/3636547553105201 - has comments suggesting people have had a renewal at that price. 

 

Certainly when I took up the 200 service just before Xmas when it was previously offered, I had no trouble getting it as a renewal - for £20 then!
