For those who didn't know, Sutton Benger and other villages around are scheduled to get fibre broadband late this year (2013) according to this map.  This is part of a scheme funded by Wiltshire Council.  Latest news on this can be found here and at the bottom of this page you can register to get informed when the update page changes.  According to the update page Royal Wootton Basset will be able to order fibre spring 2014 so it looks like there has been some slippage from the end 2013 date on the map.  Still better late than never.

Chippenham police station moves 25 March 2013.  See pdf press release for details.

As the village has been leafleted by adverts for buying gold it's worth point out that there are 31g in a tr oz so the "9ct up to £300 per tr oz" of the flyer works out as up to £9.67 /g.  A visit to Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter (parking is 70p/hr) would get over £12/g at today's (20/2/2013) prices.

We're all aware, painfully, how much the cost heating oil has increased but are we all aware that it is now more than electric.  Current price is near 60p/l (ex VAT) where as cheapest E7 night time is 5.2p.  Heating oil is 10.35 kWhr/l which means you need a condensing boiler (93% efficiency) and oil at 50p/l to beat that.

Sutton Benger and Christian Malford Oil Club (group heating oil buying syndicate) is now on this site.  In future the club will run from here so if you want to be part you need to register then email admin to ask to have oil club added to basic membership.  See Oil Club FAQ for answers to any questions.  The change saves work the oil club organisers (who after all do this for free) as well as giving users more features.
