The months are just rolling by as we are halfway through April already.

A week on Tuesday is the Mancetter Parish Annual Meeting for residents and community groups.

Please join us at 7pm on Tuesday 23^rd April at St Peter’s Church.

This is your meeting, where you can ask questions of the council, learn what has been happening over the last 12 months, and help put forward ideas for making the villages of Mancetter and Ridge Lane, and surrounding countryside pleasant places to live.

Community Groups share information on their activities, issues are discussed and reported, and this is your chance to help maintain the rural identity of village life.

Hope to see you there.

Kind Regards

Elane (On behalf of Mancetter Parish Council)

Public Spaces Protection Order

Dog Fouling

Our Environmental Health team would like your opinions on preventing anti-social behaviour arising from dog fouling within North Warwickshire.

You can participate by completing a quick Consultation - just click on the button below (the form will take around 2 minutes to complete).

The council is proposing to introduce a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO), to prevent anti-social behaviour arising from dog fouling within the borough of North Warwickshire.

Prior to making a PSPO, the Council must be satisfied that the activity that the order seeks to prohibit, is having or is likely to have a detrimental effect on the quality of life of those in the locality and is, or is likely to be, persistent or unreasonable in nature.

One method of ascertaining whether a PSPO is necessary is through public consultation.

The consultation will run until Friday 8 December 2023.

The National Crime reporting number is 101 or, in an emergency, 999. Alternatively you may use the online crime reporting tool at:

Thousands still to order a better broadband service after CSW Project upgrades

Thousands of households and businesses across the CSW region may be missing out on the better broadband connectivity we have provided because they haven’t yet ordered an improved service.

Fast and reliable digital connectivity is no longer seen as a luxury but a necessity given its increasing importance to nearly everything we do in modern day life. For example, with a better broadband connection, you can:

· Browse the web faster and carry out online tasks such as shopping and internet banking more easily

· Stream HD films, TV and video services without delay

· Chat face-to-face with friends and family – wherever they are in the world

· Run multiple devices at the same time without your connection slowing down

· Work and study from home more easily

· Engage with services that are increasingly moving online

· Compete more effectively with other businesses in an increasingly competitive global market place.

We realise that some of you who want to order an improved service can’t at this moment in time because your connection hasn’t yet been upgraded.

However, the more households and businesses who have been upgraded that we can get to order an improved service, the more money that comes back into the project, meaning that we can then look into providing solutions for those still waiting for better connectivity.

To find out if you can order an improved service, enter your landline number or address into theBT Broadband Availability Checker. OurHow to use the BT Broadband Availability Checker webpage will help you make sense of the Broadband Checker results.

Broadband comparison sites such asMoneySavingExpert.com,Broadband Choices,Compare the Market,BroadbandProviders oruSwitch can help you find a broadband package to suit your needs.

Warwickshire County Council have published details of a Public Path Diversion Order for Bridleway AE109X within Mancetter Parish.

The Parish Council recently replaced two grit bins in the Parish located near to dangerous bends.

Unfortunately the one in Steppey Lane just before you get to the downhill section into Mancetter is now missing.

If anyone has seen it please let the council know as we cannot afford to keep replacing them. They are put there for safety reasons and we would hate for there to be an accident.

Thank you.
