Bringing Superfast Broadband to your home – We need your support
On behalf of our residents, Hale and Woodgreen Parish Councils are working with Openreach to bring Superfast broadband to the area. This means a fibre connection right into your home with all the benefits of increased, scalable capacity and higher stability as well as future proofing your internet capability.
Where are we? Over the past 6 months we have been reaching out to residents to gather demand and are now at the stage where we have indicative costs to enable this service for both Hale and Woodgreen.
What will it cost? We are able to leverage government funding of £1500 per household (£3000 for businesses) to cover the Openreach implementation costs. Previously we were also able to leverage additional, matching funding from Hampshire Country Council, however it is not available at this time and we should assume for now that this will remain the case as County Council finances remain stretched.
Next steps. In order to make this a reality we need more residents to sign up and leverage the government funding in order to cover the costs. For those that have signed up, we have your contact details and all the information we need for now. If you haven’t signed up but are interested and want to know more please contact John Mangan for Hale and Lance Benest for Woodgreen
