Update on fibre broadband

Now is your chance to find out more about the benefits of high-speed fibre broadband coming to Cheshire.

Connecting Cheshire will be rolling out high-speed fibre broadband to more than 80,000 premises over the next 18 months.

To help explain how the much anticipated roll-out will be delivered a drop-in briefing event is being held on:
February 19, at Wrenbury Village Hall, Cholmondley Road, Wrenbury CW5 8HG
anytime between 4pm and 8pm.

People can find out how more about the arrival of fibre broadband and see how everyone can benefit from switching to high-speed broadband for home or business use.

Experts from BT Openreach will be on hand to explain the technical and logistical challenges, plus there will be information and maps showing where and when the new services will be arriving. Information on the free superfast business support programme will also be available.

Councillor David Brown, Deputy Leader of Cheshire East Council, on behalf of the Connecting Cheshire Partnership said: "I urge everyone to attend this event to learn more about the benefits of faster broadband, which will transform how we work, how we learn, how we communicate with friends or family and how we entertain ourselves.

"The digital age is with us – so let's exploit it."

The telephone exchange covering Aston, Wrenbury, Newhall, and Sound will be among the first to benefit from upgrades to fibre from the end of March onwards. This will be followed by exchanges covering parts of Audlem, Wychwood Park, Hough, Stapeley, Crewe Green, Barthomley, Wistaston, Acton and Wynbunbury later in the year.
