Fast broadband - we're not in the first batch

BT has announced the results of their Race to Infinity competition, and unfortunately we're not among the winning communities. It's hard to get official figures but it seems that we only had a couple of hundred votes out of more than 15,000 households.

The communities they've named will be first in the queue, but there will be other opportunities. In fact we've been talking about this in a meeting today, saying that we have to use any new developments as a lever to get broadband speeds increased.

Thank you everyone for getting in touch - we'll keep up the pressure on your behalf!
