Following on from our initial broadcast by BT’s Digital Voice Expert, Lydia Beeston on Preparing for the UK Landline Switchover which was well received and very informative. The Landline Switchover is already happening and everyone on an old analogue network will have to move to a digital network by January 2027. If you are unaware of the move, or want to be informed of the latest position, this is for you.

The session will be held on the evening of the 8th December 2025 at 18.30pm. The presentation is about an hour long and we have allowed up to a further 30 minutes for Q&As. Please forward to your Councillors or stakeholders that provide support / advice to your communities.

What to expect:

  • Introduction
  • Overview of the upgrade from analogue to digital and key timelines
  • Myth busting to ensure that you can support your communities against rogue traders and fake news
  • How BT is supporting vulnerable customers during the switchover
  • Practical steps and resources for a smooth experience to support your communities

The session will conclude with time for Q&A, giving you the opportunity to ask questions and gain clarity on the changes ahead.

Warning to motorists ahead of Christmas festivities
Over the past three years across our three counties there have been 13 fatalities and 132 serious injuries on the roads where alcohol has been a contributory factor. An additional 24 fatalities and 100 serious injuries have occurred involving drugs.

Each one of these is a loved one lost. Each one is a life cut short.

There really is no excuse if you are caught driving over the influence of drink or drugs. Any amount of alcohol or drugs can impair your ability to drive.

Throughout December we are supporting Op Limit, the national drink and drug drive operation. Part of this will be raising awareness of the consequences of driving under the influence but also high profile enforcement, continuing the work that takes place 24/7 throughout the year. Highlighting the issues around driving under the influence of alcohol is forming part of an overall month long campaign, Op Christmas Presence, aimed at helping keep everyone safe this festive season.

Don’t risk it for the sake of one drink this Christmas.
