March Broadband Questionnaire

Filed under: Surveys — admin @ 20:48

BROADBAND QUESTIONNAIRE
There is a chance that KCC are about to invite tenders for suppliers to install LLU equipment in rural exchanges within this area, thus enabling subscribers to obtain a much better and more stable broadband signal.
If this was introduced into the Minster area would you be interested, especially if it was offered at a better rate than you pay at present ?
Please answer the following questionnaire and submit it to us as soon as possible.
This poll will close on Sunday 28th March 2010

To the uninitiated LLU stands for Local Loop Unbundling whereby the Broadband supplier installs their own equipment in your local telephone exchange

Question 3 asks you to check your Broadband speed which you can do by using this link Speedtest.net

February Village of the Year Survey

Filed under: Surveys — admin @ 21:11

Minster was presented with 2 cheques totalling £500 for winning both the Communications and Sustainability categories in the recent Village of the Year Competition, and they are now expected, by the sponsors, Calor, to spend this on something to either improve the village and/or to benefit the residents.

Minster Matters have already made a suggestion to the Parish Council, but the Council have taken the decision to ask residents for their views before making any commitments.

If you have not already sent in a written reply, after reading the appeal in the February issue of Minster Matters, then please give us your views below.

We have given you a choice of possible answers, tick as many or as few as you wish, plus we have added a text area at the bottom where you are able to add your own thoughts and suggestions, if none of ours appeal.

This survey will close at 8am on Tuesday 23rd February, so as all correspondence can be submitted to the Clerk of the Parish Council for consideration and possible inclusion in the March Meeting Agenda.

Survey now closed
We will publish the results in the April issue of the village newsletter and inform you of the Parish Councils decision when we know it
