Pay less for your Heating Oil

by using the Hanley and Welland Oil Club

Castlemorton Parish Council has now arranged for householders in Castlemorton Parish to be able to join the Hanley and Welland Oil Club. The scheme has been running for over two years and currently has 230 members.

HOW THE SCHEME WORKS

You join the scheme by phoning Dennis Wade. Tel: 310410.

He will register your name, address, postcode and telephone number with the oil supplier (currently Hingley Callow).

When you want to order oil, you phone Hingley Callow (01299 828800) after 10.00am on a Monday and before 4.00pm on a Tuesday and they will give you the current price. You can check with other suppliers that this is the best price, and if you place your order before 4.00pm on the Tuesday, they will deliver on Wednesday.

QUESTIONS

Is there a minimum order? – Yes, 500 litres, but there is no surcharge for ordering under 1000 litres. The price per litre is the same.

Is there a membership fee? – No, it is free.

Do I have to buy from Hingley Callow? – No, if you happen to be offered a better price elsewhere, you are at liberty to order from somebody else.

How do I pay? – You will be invoiced by Hingley Callow and you must pay within 7 days. No charge for cheques and Debit Cards. Credit Card payments attract a surcharge.

The supplier offers a monthly budget scheme and once you are a Member they will give you details if you ask for them.

Herefordshire Council looking at committing £6m on broadband Monday 23 January 2012 19:09:48 by Andrew Ferguson

Herefordshire Council's cabinet is cutting the discussions over allocating some £6 million from its own budget close to the mark, with a full council meeting to discuss the issue on 3rd February when the plan has to be submitted to the BDUK before the end of February 2012.

Herefordshire and Gloucestershire County Councils were amongst the first wave of pilots for BDUK funding and back in January 2011 but as yet we are still not aware of any actual awarding of contracts or trials under that scheme. The pilots seem to simply be areas that are slightly further ahead on the procurement process.

Herefordshire was allocated £6,350,000 by the BDUK in August 2011, but this will only be released on approval of the plan. The number of properties with poor or no broadband was estimated at 84,128, which is a massive 99.8% of the areas of the county eligible for State support. Gloucestershire has an allocation of £8,070,000 to cover 150,405 properties, which is 54.3% of the county.  19:09:48 by Andrew Ferguson
