Important - Coronavirus in Potterne
We are aware of at least eight residents who have tested positive in the past few days. We wish all those with the virus a speedy recovery, and encourage all residents to be extra-careful in following the rules. It only takes one initial contact to spread the virus quickly to a large number of people, and those who have the virus have been most surprised by how easy it is to catch.

Bringing high speed Fibre Broadband to Potterne - please help!
Imagine that you need to move to home-working - or a potential purchaser of your house does - and your internet connection is too slow. You ask to have your connection upgraded to fibre (FTTC), but that’s impossible because Potterne hasn’t had a fibre infrastructure installed.
The result is that you simply cannot do what you want to do - or your purchaser can’t, which means that your sale falls through.
To everyone’s benefit, we must ensure that Potterne does not end up in the internet slow-lane!
