Gigaclear Fibre Broadband coming to Poulton
After years of waiting, Poulton will soon have ultra fast fibre broadband to the home. Gigaclear, the rural broadband implementation firm, are currently underway laying fibre optic cable from Meysey Hampton through to Poulton. They'll be digging up verges, climbing telegraph poles and generally poking about in our streets and lanes very soon. The work is expected to be completed by the end of Decmber 2026, with residents enjoying speeds of up to 900 MBs (that's very fast).
​
What a nice Xmas present.

Poulton Speedwatch
After the successful campaign, led by Parish Councillor Ed Hyslop, to raise awareness about speeding through Poulton, there are now three static cameras in place around the village, together with an average speed check zone and enhanced signage, which is a well-known deterrent to speeding drivers. We are working closely with Gloucestershire Police, who have issued letters to persistent offenders speeding through Poulton, and as a result of our monitoring, the Police have now increased the frequency of manned mobile speed camera attendance in the village, resulting in enforcement action, including fines and penalty points issued to offenders.
We continue to monitor speeding in the village, and while speeding is most definitely still a major problem for our village, we are delighted that we have seen a 50% reduction in speeders as a result of these initiatives. helping to make the village a safer and more pleasant place to live.

Jeremy Cluckson
It appears a menace in the shape of a black cockerel has been terrorising the village, with its early-morning alarm calls and dangerous road crossings, threatening the tranquillity and peace of this quiet haven. Although several attempts have been made to track down its owners, no one has come forward to claim the clucky little monster. It's exuberant cries have even been said to drown out the jets taking off from the local airbase - perhaps something for the Guinness Book of Records?
​
Despite his boisterous behaviour and antisocial tendencies, some have grown used to and even perhaps a little fond of Jeremy Cluckson, with his dashing good looks and his devil-may-care attitude.
​
So, the village will continue to live alongside this newcomer until such time as he becomes a casualty of the London Road and is food for Red Kites, or until someone decides he's just about oven-ready.
