TV switchover

The Community Police have asked us to remind everyone that the digital switchover will take place on August 12th. There is a Switchover Help Scheme for the most vulnerable people in the community and is available to anyone who is over 75, disabled, or in a care home. Many of these people will not actually know what to do, so if you know of anyone who needs help, get them to call (free) on 0800 40 85 900 or help them yourself by reading www.helpscheme.co.uk In particular the Community Officers want to make sure that people such as the recently bereaved, victims of crime or people who are living alone are given maximum assistance.
In addition, if you are very technically adroit and have technophobe pals who are experiencing difficulties re-tuning their televisions, please be generous with your expertise.
