BADSEY BROADBAND UNBUNDLED

Badsey Telephone Exchange has now been 'unbundled'. What this means is that BT will no longer be passing on a charge, around £15 per month, to other broadband providers. Residents in Badsey and Aldington will shortly be informed by their telephone and broadband providers of a reduction in their monthly bills.

BADSEY SOCIETY GRANT SUCCESS

The Badsey Society recently announced that they had been awarded a Heritage Lottery Fund grant for £21,700. The grant was given for a two-year project by the village's local history group which will record in a book and on film the 140 years of market gardening within the parish. The project, which will involve many of the villagers, features many exhibitions and events and has a working title called 'The Last Market Gardener'. The first of these events took place recently at Badsey Flower Show when the Society held a display of old market gardening implements together with the history of local market gardening families. Click Here for further details of the project.

Below is the Badsey Society Committee wearing their Heritage Lottery Fund T-Shirts. They are from left to right: Terry Sparrow, Neil Thould, Jane Neill, Will Dallimore, Maureen Spinks, Richard Phillips, Valerie Magan, Ian Gibson and Mike Lovatt.
