Play and Recreation Update

We had a great response to the Dragon
Sports Play Scheme this summer.
Numbers were low for this first few
weeks while families took their
holidays but attendance grew week by
week to maximum capacity by the end
of the summer.

The leaders had a great time running
the various activities with the children
and one of the suggestions to develop
the programme further would be to
run a few sessions for 4-6 year olds and
we will develop this further next year.

After consultation with children from
the village and leisure services
department at Flintshire County
Council we have ring fenced funds to
provide two new pieces of play
equipment and to upgrade the surface
area under the play equipment at St.
Davids Park off Blantern Road which
Flintshire County Council have agreed
to match fund from their budget.
Superfast Broad Band
We have been keeping a keen eye on the superfast broadband roll
out for the village and have been notified by that we have recently
changed status from Planned Area to Coming Soon which is
described as..

Your area will be enabled within the next six months and well
provide more details nearer the time.
At the moment you cant order Superfast Fibre.

Higher Kinnerton is connected to the BT Exchange in Lower
Kinnerton. This exchange currently provides us with 8mb
broadband which by the time it runs up the road is only 6mb
broadband. The best recorded broadband speed in the village is
around 6mb and some as bad as 2mb.

The new broadband services will bring 30mb speeds to the village
which is much better for watching high definition films, game
playing and accessing all the new internet services currently
enjoyed by over half of Flintshire already. For those broadband
users in fixed or annual deals it may well be worth keeping an eye
on www.superfast-cymru.com/home so you are well informed
when it comes to your renewal.

Christmas Decorations
Councillor Anjela Jones has been giving the Willow
tunnel in the park its autumn weave and haircut. A
large quantity of willow rods have been left in the
park for use by members of the community. Willow
is a fantastic natural resource for crafts and has
many uses. The large rods can be cut up and used
to make frames, trees, stars, the list is only limited
by your imagination.

The smaller flexible branches or whips can be soaked in water for 24
hours to make them pliable and can then be woven into a variety of
shapes and uses. Feel free to take as much willow as you think you need
and there will be plenty more in the spring.

1st Kinnerton Scout Group

The Scout Group Autumn Jumble Sale will be on October 11th.
However, theres no need to wait until then to have a sort out.

collect them from you. Just phone her on 660907.

Beryl and Family would like to thank everyone for
their cards and kind thoughts at this sad time.

Advertising Success leads to publishing Error..
In simple terms we messed up the adverts page this month by promising
spaces to 11 local companies when we only had 10 places to fill Needless
to say we want to support our local enterprises so for one month only
unless we mess it up again, Cedar House Flowers get star billing .
