There have been some updates on the “Connecting Devon and Somerset” website indicating times that different parts of the Parish should gain access to faster internet. Specifically, north of the village (generally connected to BT’s “Ashburton 2” cabinet) is shown as being live, and much of the rest of the Parish (connected via Mortonhampstead 4) should be ready in October. You can check which cabinet your phone line is connected with BT on their DSL Checker. When the cabling is all in place an improved network connection will require discussion with your internet service provider.

Over the last year there have been a variety of incidents for which the monitoring of traffic into and out of the village would have been useful. While it is open to any individual to place surveillance cameras on their property, the Parish Council would be interested to know whether the community as a whole would welcome the increased security provided by such devices at strategic points or whether the use of this technology would be perceived as intrusive. We would welcome your opinion on this matter. Please contact Councillor Hazel Jones if you wish to comment. Osmonda Cottage, The Village, North Bovey hazelajones@gmail.com 01647 440143
