| Business Broadband: Questionnaire (please complete by March 28) West Sussex County Council needs your help. We are asking businesses in the County to help us to understand which geographical areas are affected by poor Internet connections. By completing a questionnaire on behalf of your business, you can provide the information that will help the County Council to persuade network operators and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to invest in badly needed improvements to the Broadband infrastructure. We are keen to gain as many responses as possible so that local businesses and the local economy can prosper from the opportunities a fast Broadband connection can bring. As superfast Broadband is being rolled out across the UK , there is a risk that less commercially viable areas will be left behind, creating a “digital divide” which could damage businesses that are left on the "wrong side". Please take this opportunity to complete the questionnaire – it will only take about 10 minutes and the information you provide will be used as a basis for both lobbying for improvements and as the basis for bids for funding that could help to bring improved quality Broadband to your area. · For those who have access to the Internet, an online questionnaire is available at: http://westsussex.gov.uk/broadband . · Printed copies of the questionnaire are available from your nearest library or call 01243 642119 and a copy will be sent to you. |

| The Heat Is On (Chimney fires - safety advice from West Sussex Fire and Rescue) |
 |
| As the nights draw in and the weather turns colder West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service are urging people to be aware of the dangers of chimney fires. - Have your chimney swept at least once a year, twice a year if burning wood. - When burning wood, use dry, seasoned woods only. - Build smaller, hotter fires that burn completely and produce less smoke. - Never burn cardboard boxes or waste paper. - NEVER use petrol or paraffin to light your fire. - Do not overload the grate or appliance. - Use a fire or spark guard to prevent accidental fires. - Inspect your chimney breast, particularly in the roof space. Make sure that it is sound and that the sparks or fumes cannot escape through cracks or broken bricks. - Ensure the fire is fully extinguished before going to bed or leaving the house. - Make sure wood burners and other fire appliances are installed and maintained in accordance with the manufaturer's instructions. - Make sure your smoke alarm is working properly, early detection can save lives. Fire safety advice is free and easy to access from West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service's Community Safety Team on 01243 642878 or www.westsussex.gov.uk/fire |
