I have written to the Project Manager of Superfast Leicestershire at County Hall, requesting a meeting with BT this Autumn to progress any plans it might have at this stage for connecting our village to fibre.  I have suggested BT is represented at this meeting by Openreach and Retail, so we can discuss both technical issues and the consumer aspects.

Thank you for completing our Broadband Survey over summer – an analysis of the results was included in our letter and is a vital part of our argument in pressing BT to bring fibre to Holwell.

I have copied this letter to Pam Posnett, who is the County Councillor responsible for the broadband project and to whom I talked about our issues at a meeting in July at Melton Borough Council’s offices.

I’ll let you know as soon as I hear back.
