South Kesteven is enjoying 93.5% superfast broadband

coverage across the district, with 53,583 homes and businesses now up to speed.

Those are the latest figures from the Lincolnshire Broadband Programme, with more properties still coming online in Phase Two of the project.

Phase Three will start later this year, with the emphasis on rural communities. Three quarters of new target areas are termed 'very rural', 22% 'rural' and 3% 'sub-urban' with programme organisers planning to connect another 2,081 premises within South Kesteven.

Some 66% of connections will be state of the art Fibre To The Premises (FTTP), achievable because target areas are smaller population clusters and fibre infrastructure is now much further out in the county.

Cllr Kelham Cooke, SKDC Deputy Leader and Cabinet member for Business Transformation and Commissioning, said: “This is good news for the district and a major justification for our investment of £536,000 in this county-wide scheme.

District Broadband programme targets rural areas

“It is really important that everyone in South Kesteven has access to superfast broadband to make our district a great place to live, work and invest.”

The Lincolnshire Broadband Programme started in 2013 with three planned phases and high level agreements with BT and Broadband providers.

Before the programme, South Kesteven had 62% superfast broadband coverage as a result of BT and Virgin media’s commercial activities.

Phase One successfully hit its target of achieving 90% superfast broadband coverage across Lincolnshire and ensured that 100% of premises had access to download speeds of at least 2MB/S.

On completion of Phase One, fibre connectivity had been upgraded to 21,451 premises in South Kesteven. This comprised of 119 new green roadside cabinets through Full Fibre to Cabinet (FFTC) and equated to 14.2% of the total county build.

Phase Two started on 1 April 2016, with an estimated completion date of December 2017, although work could be finished earlier. It had

public funding of £1.8m from LCC with BT contributing capital of circa £600k.

Broadband Delivery UK (BDUK), part of the Government's Department for Culture, Media and Sport and responsible for delivering superfast broadband and local full fibre networks to the nation, contributed £1.8m.

The target was to deliver a further 11,634 fibre enabled premises, of which at least 85% would be classed as ‘Superfast’, i.e. 24Mb/s or higher.

This project is currently on track with 4,355 premises completed, of which 356 are in South Kesteven. The end of Phase 2 should see at least 14% of the total build in South Kesteven.

Have your say on the new housing strategy

1,000 local businesses set to benefitfrom business rate rebate

SKDC is drawing up a new housing strategy for the next four years

(until 2021) and is keen to have your input.

Following extensive consultation with councillors, developers, landlords and registered providers (previously known as housing associations), the Council has developed a draft strategy that focuses on four key priorities: • Making sure that enough new homes

are built in our district• Helping people to live in their own

homes for as long as they can• Working with landlords to improve

standards in privately rented homes• Making sure that the housing needs of

residents are being met - particularly those who are vulnerable

Before going any further, SKDC would like to ask members of the public what they think of the draft housing strategy; whether it is focusing on the right things and if there is anything else the council should be looking at.

Councillor Nick Neilson, Cabinet Member for Communities and Wellbeing (pictured, right), said: “What people want, need and expect from their homes has changed over the last decade or so and will continue to change over the next few years.

Around 1,000 businesses in the district are set to benefit from

discretionary rate rebates with a total value of £568,000.

The funding, which was announced in the Spring Budget, provides relief to predominantly small and medium-sized businesses that saw the sharpest increases following the 2017 revaluation of rates across the country.

The relief will be provided in the form of a rates reduction over the

“Whether people are renting privately, on the first rung of the housing ladder buying a starter home, or looking for somewhere where they can continue to live independently, we need to make sure that our housing strategy reflects this.

“Getting the strategy to this stage has been an excellent team effort so far. We want to include local people in this process and find out from them if we are concentrating on the right things. We would encourage anyone who has opinions on how the council can best

support housing for local people going forward to have their say by completing our survey.”

next four years, nearly 90% of which is provided in the first two years, 2017/18 and 2018/19 (58% and 28% respectively).

Cllr Nick Robins, SKDC's Cabinet Member for Retail and Visitor Economy, said: “I’m sure that many local businesses will welcome the recognition by central government of the impact that the 2017 rate revaluation had on them.

“We acted quickly to secure this rebate for local businesses and

carefully considered the distribution criteria to ensure it is done as fairly as possible.

“For those companies that meet the criteria, the good news is that they do not have to apply for the rebate - it will be automatically applied over the next four years.”

To be eligible, companies must have seen their rates increase by a minimum of 3% and be operating from premises valued at £100,000 or less.

Planning for the Future

Engaging with our parish and town communities

South Kesteven’s Local Plan has now moved on to its next stage,

following public drop-in events across the district to gather comments and suggestions.

Village halls, arts centres, shopping centres and even market stalls were used by council planning policy team to meet the public and gather views before the 18 August consultation cut-off.

Cllr Mike King, Cabinet Member for Economy and Growth said: “We have done our very best to give people across the district a chance to air their views, and even extended the consultation deadline by a week to allow everyone to have their say.

“I am delighted with turnout and the enthusiasm of people to speak out on local and wider issues and would like to thank all those who have responded.”

An extra day was added to make three public events in Grantham, which is intended to potentially take up 50% of the district’s new housing. Consultation events were also held in Long Bennington, Corby Glen, Market Deeping, Bourne and Stamford.

Two cabinet members have been given the job of improving

effective working between SKDC and parish and town councils.

Cllr Nick Neilson and Cllr Nick Robins have been given responsibility for proactively engaging with the two communities to find ways of strengthening the relationship.

Cllr Neilson said: "Parish and town councils are at the grass roots level of our local democracy and play an invaluable role across South Kesteven. It is important that we work in partnership to improve services for our residents and ensure that the voices of our town and rural communities are heard."

Over the coming months they will both be looking at ways to better engage, communicate and support parish and town councils.

SKDC is now considering all comments and writing responses before preparing the final version of the new Local Plan, set to guide development in the district through to 2036.

Cllr Robins said: "Our overall aim is for us to work more closely and effectively together for the benefit of the whole community.

"We do attend town and parish

council meetings but will be looking at furtherways to better engage and support them, which in turn helps each of us shape the decisions that affect our communities."

A further six-week consultation period in early 2018 will follow, where formal representations can be made, before the plan is submitted for independent examination to the Secretary of State.

Communities get on board The Big Clean

Town and parish councils are getting on board The Big

Clean, tackling ‘grot spots’ across the district to create a higher street standard in our towns and villages.

Hundreds of volunteers and businesses have joined the District Council in recent weeks to help spruce up streets across 365 square miles, targeting litter, weeds, fly-tipping and graffiti.

Litter picking efforts in Kirkby Underwood and Carlby have been among the first to be co-ordinated in the district, with the council supplying equipment to hard working volunteers who responded to SKDC’s call for action earlier in the summer.

SKDC’s Cabinet Member for Environment, Cllr Dr Peter Moseley, said: “People’s determination to come and help us raise the street standard has been very encouraging. We thank each and every volunteer and business who has helped us in their part of the district.

“When we ask residents about

their priorities for the area, litter and cleanliness are regularly in their top five issues.

“Cleaner streets make our villages and towns nicer places to live in and to visit. We also want to make South Kesteven as attractive as possible to businesses that will provide the

future jobs and growth in our area.”The initial 12-week programme

runs until the end of October. It sees all reports addressed by the project’s dedicated teams, two of which will permanently tackle the issues to increase the reach of the Council’s streetcare services team.

Reports can still be submitted and

volunteers can sign up for future efforts online at www.southkesteven.gov.uk/skbigclean or by calling 01476 40 60 66.

Chairman and his deputy aim to attend more than 100 events

Make big savings on your energy bills

SKDC’s Chairman Cllr Bob Sampson has been in office just

four months, but he has already attended an array of events from civic services to regimental dinners and has even been guest of honour at a karting Grand Prix!

During his year in office, Cllr Sampson and his Vice-Chairman, Cllr George Chivers, are aiming to represent the Council at over 100 charity events, civic functions and other engagements - raising money for St Barnabas Hospice in Grantham and the Canal River Trust in the process.

Cllr Sampson, who represents the District Council ward of Loveden Heath, which includes the villages of Caythorpe, Fulbeck, Hough-on-the-Hill, Fenton and Stubton, says his

You could make huge savings on your energy bills by

signing up to the Lincolnshire Energy Switch scheme.

Price increases announced last week by British Gas and other energy firms mean that now is the perfect time to review your supplier – and potentially save hundreds of pounds during the autumn and winter months ahead.

Anyone can register, whether you rent your home or own it at www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/switch. All you need is your annual gas or electric statement or bills covering the last 12 months to hand.

The scheme is organised by SKDC

chairmanship is both an honour and privilege.

He said: “I have thoroughly enjoyed the events I have attended so far and look forward to the many more to come. It is certainly going to be a busy and memorable year.”

Originally from Bristol, Cllr Sampson, who is also chairman of SKDC’s Rural Overview and Scrutiny Committee, qualified as a Chartered Architect in 1979 and became a partner at a London practice in 1980.

When the recession hit the construction industry in the 90s, he and his wife Ann, moved to Lincolnshire, where Cllr Sampson had a change of career becoming a risk manager for an insurance mutual.

Since retirement in 2010, Cllr Sampson has worked voluntarily for

and six other councils in the county. It is administered by collective switching expert, iChoosr Ltd.

Speaking on behalf of the councils, SKDC Business Manager for Environmental Health, Anne-Marie Coulthard, said: “This is a great opportunity for householders to potentially save hundreds of pounds on their energy bills.

“Registering is really simple and there is nothing to lose by seeing if the winning supplier at the auction beats your current energy prices. If they do, you could be on your way to some timely savings on your bills later this year."

the Canal and River Trust, as well as being a governor of the Sir William Robertson School in Welbourn. He is a member of Leadenham Bowls Club and Caythorpe Garden Club, and he even finds time to sing with the Loveden Festival Singers and swing his clubs at Belton Park Golf Club.

If you’re not able to register online, a friend or family members can do this on your behalf, or you can register offline at your local council or by calling 0800 048 8439.

The initiative is open to all energy users, whether you are on dual fuel, electric only, pay monthly or quarterly or have a pre-payment meter.

There is no obligation for people to accept the offer or a new tariff from a supplier, but if they do it’s easy and straightforward to switch, with the new provider taking care of the whole process.

Stamford Georgian Festival “a triumph”Stamford’s third Georgian

Festival has been hailed the best and most successful yet by organisers South Kesteven District Council.

The four-day event, which took place from Thursday 21 to Sunday 24 September, was declared “a triumph” by festival goers, attracting tens of thousands of people over the four days to England’s first conservation town.

The promise of a spectacular finale drew a crowd of more than 5,500 people to Red Lion Square to witness the story of Stamford and its infamous ‘bull run’ projected on to the side of All Saints Church.

The Saturday evening ‘illuminati’ event was a huge success, with hundreds gathering to join in the procession from St George’s Square and along the High Street before finishing in Red Lion Square.

The procession included a Samba band, stilt walkers, dancers, the ‘gigante’ puppet of Ann Blades - historic Empress of the Bullards - as well as and hundreds of children and community participants carrying red

torches.St Mary's Church bell rang to start

proceedings, as it had for centuries, to announce the boarding of shops and the barricading of the street with carts and wagons before the bull was let loose.

It was the cue for the finale to begin, introduced by 'street pedlar' character actor John White and with performers in All Saints’ churchyard.

The church became the backdrop for a stunning sound and visual light projection telling the tale of early Stamford and its barbaric bull run tradition, which took place for 700 years from the time of King John.

Echoing through Stamford's historic streets was the story of the chase and slaughter and the blood and thunderous noise of the annual ritual, and how it was finally halted in 1839 with the Dragoon Guards' 'arrest' of the bull.

A five-minute fireworks display and confetti cannon concluded the programme, with rousing applause from the crowd.

It was a fantastic finale to a very busy weekend across the town. There

was a craft market in Broad Street and a military encampment on The Meadows, street entertainers amused shoppers across the town and there were performances in Browne’s Hospital, the Town Hall and the Endowed Schools, among others.

For sheer spectacle, the sight of an historic horse-drawn carriage making its way through the streets was hard to beat, but many other events came close including the acrobats on horses down on The Meadows and those who had dressed in Georgian costumes for the occasion.

The Leader of SKDC, Councillor Matthew Lee, said: “The whole event was a triumph of colour, spectacle and entertainment – a real celebration of Stamford.

“Although we haven’t had official confirmation of numbers, judging by the crowds, it was our biggest year yet. It was fantastic to see Red Lion square packed with people enjoying the finale on Saturday.

“Our last Georgian Festival in 2015 added nearly £1 million to the local economy and we hope to top that this year. As importantly, we hope

7

that the festival will have left residents and visitors will fantastic memories this year,” added Cllr Lee.

“We would particularly like to thank the residents of Stamford for their support and patience during the festival. We are extremely grateful for everyone’s cooperation during the festival.”

Social media was red hot over the weekend, with one comment really standing out. It was a complaint that “there just wasn’t enough time to do everything!” Not a bad problem to have.

New wheeled sport facility for Deeping St JamesWork started this month

(September) on a new concrete wheeled sport facility for Deeping St James.

It’s the culmination of three years’ hard work by the Parish Council to raise £135,000 to fund the project at Woody Heights on Linchfield Road.

Julie Fortnum, Parish Clerk for Deeping St James, said: “This facility will provide a huge boost to the area. We want it to be used by people of all ages and abilities.”

The contract to remove the existing facility and to design, supply and install a new skate park has been awarded to Gravity Skateparks.

The company has been designing and engineering innovative freeform skateparks for communities across the UK for the last decade and have helped pioneer a new generation of urban landscapes for wheeled sports that are making communities more exciting places to be.

Julie added: “The tender design submitted by Gravity was favoured not only by members of the Parish Council, but also by the majority of the users that were consulted. We are all really

looking forward to the new facility taking shape over the coming months.”

Money for the project has come from a variety of sources including a £50,000 grant from Waste Recycling Environmental Limited (WREN), a not-for-profit business which awards grants for community, biodiversity and heritage projects as well as the council tax precept, Section 106 agreements between building developers and SKDC, Lincolnshire County Council’s Big Society Fund, Deeping St James United Charities, individual donations and proceeds from a non-uniform day at The Deepings School.

Cheryl Raynor, WREN’s Grant Manager for Lincolnshire, Cambridge and Nottinghamshire, said: “We are delighted to be supporting the Woody Heights project and pleased that our funding will help provide such a fantastic facility for young people in Deeping St James.

“WREN is always happy to consider grant applications for projects that make a difference to local communities and we are really looking forward to seeing this one take shape.”
