How do we build more resilient communities?
It’s a question that Matthew Stinchcomb, cofounder of the Lifeboats HV initiative and keynote speaker at the American Library Association’s 2021 Midwinter Meeting & Exhibits Virtual on-demand session “Resilience: How Libraries Can Partner to Reshape the Future,” thinks about often.
“If you look at the data on climate change and ecological destruction, there’s no doubt that it’s pretty dire. Continuing on our current path is untenable for humans and all living beings,” he said. “The current pandemic is showing just how irresilient many of our communities are and just how much inequity there is in our current economic system.”

Teesdale broadband frustration could end with plans to improve internet access and speed for villages


RESIDENTS and businesses in three rural communities have been told of a plan to improve their internet access which could end the frustration many have felt for a long time.
A scheme to deliver fibre broadband to residents in Ovington, Hutton Magna and Wycliffe, in Teesdale, by the end of 2021 was revealed to residents last week.
MP Dehenna Davison met with representatives from Digital Durham and she and a number of residents were given a presentation from supplier Factco about the proposal.
The Digital Durham programme, led by Durham County Council, is a £25 million initiative to transform broadband speeds for residents and businesses across County Durham, Gateshead, Sunderland and Tees Valley.

Hundreds of Startforth and Boldron homes could benefit from faster broadband


FASTER broadband could be on the cards for hundreds of people in two dale villages.
Almost 650 households could benefit from a proposed Startforth and Boldron Community Fibre project.
The scheme would be led by Liverpool-based Factco, a company which specialises in fibre and communication technology for residents and businesses.
It would be funded via the Government's Gigabit Broadband Voucher scheme, which is worth £1,500 per household and £3,000 for each business which signs up to the scheme.
To cover any shortfall, the Digital Durham programme will increase the value of the vouches to £3,000 for residents and £7,000 for businesses if required.
Discussions involving Startforth Parish Council, Boldron Parish Meeting, county councillors Richard Bell and Ted Henderson, representatives from Digital Durham and officials from Factco have taken place. Members of Startforth Parish Council were told the project offered the best solution to slow broadband speeds for the majority of residents in the village.
