July Advice Surgery

Advice Surgeries are back in Horsehay & Lightmoor. With elections behind us for a while regular Advice Surgeries are back on the agenda. The next event will be this coming Saturday 18th July, 10.30 a.m. to 11.30 a.m in the Community Room, Horsehay Village Hall.

As ever you don't need an appointment, just turn up and I will do my best to help out with questions or issues for ward residents.

Superfast Broadband Update

Today (16th July 2015) Telford & Wrekin Council launched its fibre broadband programme for the Borough.

As I predicted before this scheme involves an agreement with OpenReach (BT wholesale) to provide fibre broadband access to those areas of the Borough where there is no other solution; in effect a package for some 9,300 properties.

Funded by central government through the BDUK function of the Department of Culture Media & Sport, the adminstration is claiming this will lead to 98% coverage of the whole Borough by 2017. A laudable aim, we will have to wait to discover what and when is in effect delivered.
