📞 The UK’s Digital Phone Switchover is happening — and it’s important that everyone is prepared.

Traditional landlines are being moved from the old analogue network to a new digital service that uses broadband instead. While this upgrade will improve reliability and future-proof communications, it may affect vulnerable residents, alarm systems, and devices that rely on analogue phone lines.

If you or someone you know uses:
✅ A telecare alarm
✅ A pendant or fall monitor
✅ A home security system
✅ A landline without broadband
…it’s important to check with your provider before the switch takes place.

No one should be left disconnected. Please help spread awareness, especially to elderly relatives, neighbours, and community members who may not yet know about the change.

For more information, contact your phone provider or visit the official guidance online.

🌸 Community spirit is in full bloom in Broughton! 🌸

Last night, the amazing girls and leaders from 1st Broughton Brownies planted and filled 14 beautiful hanging baskets ready to brighten businesses and key locations around the town. Thank you Brownies!

The new baskets were funded through last year’s grant from North Lincolnshire Council, with the plants kindly funded by Broughton Town Council — all brought together by the fantastic volunteers from Broughton in Bloom.

What a wonderful example of local organisations working together to make our community even more vibrant and welcoming. Thanks to the council staff for assisting to. 💐👏

The weather next week is not looking very good so therefore the Council have decided to postpone the pulling of the Himalayan Balsam in the Pocket Park.
Thank you to all the wonderful volunteers who have offered to help and provide refreshment.
I will advise of the date when we have agreed this with the local authority.
