Mr Mac - Support for Apple Macs & Windows
If you are thinking about buying an Apple product as a Christmas present, consider doing it now. Stocks will be affected by a worldwide shortage of components. Popular products such as the entry level iPad and the latest iPhone 13 might not be available in December. If you are considering a new iMac, you might be interested to know that John Lewis still has some of the classic 2020 intel-based machines available, the Apple iMac 21.5 All-inOne, Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 21.5” Full HD, Silver is £1099. This is considerably cheaper than the new iMac series and performs very well indeed. As a bonus John Lewis offers a two year warranty compared to Apple's 12 months.

Finding a high-quality microphone for your desktop computer, Apple or Windows, can be frustrating. I have tried quite a few and have finally found a very good one, it is made by a company called RØDE, the RØDE MT mini. An advantage is that the headphone output on the back of the microphone. This means you can clearly hear your own voice as well as that of the caller. The quality is quite exceptional and is available from Amazon for £72.25. This version sits on your desk, you can buy a “mic arm”, avoid the cheap ones and try instead the Elgato Wave Mic Arm LP, low profile swivel boom with hidden cable channels. At £89.99 it is not cheap but, in my opinion worth the extra.
Thank you to all my customers, new and old, that have welcomed me into their homes during the last 12 months. It has been such a pleasure spending time with you all and I look forward to meeting new and existing customers in 2022.

Wcc Cllr Fiona Isaacs Report
Halloween Thank You A massive thank you from my husband and me to everyone who came along to support our Halloween walkthrough. The 6th year of doing this and so lovely to see everyone again. Thank you for all the donations which this year will be going to support The Alresford Pigs. (www.alresfordpigs.org)
Supporting Our Community Lighting up Alresford - It’s that time of the year again. I will be joining The Alresford Chamber of Commerce and The Alresford Pigs volunteers to put the little Christmas trees up in the main streets in Alresford. A massive thank you to all the volunteers and the people who purchased them. This year the town will be fully LED, thanks to a joint project with The Chamber of Commerce and a grant for half the costs from New Alresford Town Council. This will ensure the project continues into the future as the old bulbs are no longer available. The kind support from New Alresford Town Council has enabled the LED project to be completed. Trees go up Saturday 27th November
Christmas Donkey walkabout I am thrilled to be supporting this fantastic idea. There is a plan for a Christmas Donkey walkabout on Tuesday 21st December from 1.30pm - 3pm in the Meryon Rd area (Walking plan Mitford / Meryon and Windsor loop )
The Dean Car Park update As many people may know, I have been involved in supporting this since 2017 when I spoke to Winchester City Council Cabinet about the possibility of purchasing land for a car park on the Dean. Unfortunately, recently it was fed back to me from various parties involved that discussions had come to a standstill. I raised this issue at The New Alresford Town Council. I have fed key data into the Winchester City Council (WCC) planning department that I originally presented in 2017, and also have had discussions with the developer and businesses involved. I am pleased to report that discussions are underway again and we are hopeful that we can finally get some positive movement on an issue that the town desperately needs.
Working on issues raised I am pleased to report that I have managed to get positive outcomes on a number of issues raised to me by local residents. New House Number signs 4 set back elderly residents were concerned that ambulances and drivers could not find them due to the distance from the road. I have managed to organise a new roadside sign that will be clear from the road/vehicles. Tree Shoots - some local residents were concerned about offshoots from surrounding trees growing up through pavements and lawns. I have arranged for these to be assessed.
Planning Permission refund We all know mistakes can happen, but when a resident expressed concern about planning permission for a driveway I was asked to help. As it turned out, this resident never needed to apply to Winchester City Council and was in fact incorrectly informed. I asked for the resident to be refunded once I raised it as an investigation and they confirmed that there had been a mistake and agreed to refund the monies paid.
Jacklyn's Lane new bin I was happy to support some residents request for a bin on the left hand side walking from Nursery close to Elm road. The new bin next to the bus stop is dual purpose and has been popular with residents, esp those who didn’t want to cross the road.
