PARISH NEWS March 2025
Solar PV System
I am delighted to inform you that the Parish Council has been offered a grant from the Thalia WB Community Fund, which holds money as part of the national Landfill Communities Fund (LCF). They will provide £15,500 towards the cost of installing solar panels and batteries at the Village Hall, in order to provide power for the Grafham Trout. Implementation of the Solar PV system will make an important contribution to supporting the energy requirements of the Trout and help to ensure the environmental and financial sustainability of this much valued facility.
Correction: Fly-tipping Report Link
Unfortunately, the last article in the paper copy of the February Grafham Gossip included an incorrect link for reporting fly-tipping. We sincerely apologise for the mistake. Thank you for your understanding, and we appreciate your efforts in keeping our community clean!
Fly-tipping should be reported to Huntingdonshire District Council. This is the correct link:

Gigabit Broadband
Gigaclear held a Wi-Fi workshop on the 6th February, which proved to be very successful. About thirty people attended, gaining a useful understanding of what causes poor Wi-Fi coverage around the home, along with guidance for solving their specific issues.
