BROADBAND UPDATE - A new twist - suddenly no more Trigger Levels

The subject of BROADBAND in the area continues to be a major talking point! The latest development is BT suddenly suspending the 'trigger level' scheme - which had ALMOST been reached within Craven Arms. They have now issued the latest statement saying:

"BT presses broadband accelerator

UK to have near universal broadband coverage by summer 2005"

Could be progress - could be not. Read BT the Press Release here

What this does mean for certain is that we will no longer be asking you to fill in the online form and register your interest in Broadband. We would however like to take this opportunity to thank all those who supported our Broadband campaign and those who did register with us.

We hope we will all be able to enjoy Broadband access very soon!
