Here is a message from Selectra about Smart Meters: More information about smart meters…
As I’m sure you’re aware, the Government is rolling out smart meters into all homes and businesses before 2020. However, research shows that a huge percentage of the population are still not aware of the options available.
Working in conjunction with the smart meter authorities nationwide, we are ensuring that all local councils have the up to date, correct information on their websites to ensure we are fully prepared as a nation for this switch. Provided below are links to full guides domestic and non-domestic smart meters handed to us by the Government.

You will have noticed the poppies flowering in and around Romsley this year. As the summer progressed, the poppies in the Playing Fields, the top of Romsley Hill and the bottom of Dark Lane multiplied and provided a splash of colour around the village.
Hillside Ladies have been sowing the poppy seeds to create a Living Memorial to commemorate the Centennial Anniversary of the ending of the First World War on 11/11/1918. We shall continue to sow poppy seeds in other areas of the village early next year. Please join us by nominating areas for planting to ensure Romsley will have a display of colour to commemorate this special time.
Members of Romley PC have met with Worcester Highways about the problems on the Bromsgrove Road and the surrounding feeder roads. We created a list of problems and potential solutions and there seemed to be acknowledgement that several integrated solutions need to be deployed, but that a proper a study of flow, speed and behaviour is required first.
I have requested that WCC’s traffic data collection team design and arrange traffic flow and speed surveys across Romsley during September.
WCC’s road safety engineering team will collate and analyse all casualty and damage only accident details for the area, including Day House Bank, from both West Midlands and West Mercia Police. Following the analysis of the data, a site safety scheme review will be carried out and a scheme options appraisal put to the WCC Strategic Infrastructure Board for consideration of funding.
