Following the previous update, we are pleased to report that progress continues with Gigaclear’s plan to bring faster and more reliable broadband to our village.
The initial design for our villages has been completed (as promised a few months ago) and the Parish Council has been shown this prior to it being finalised with their construction team. The new infrastructure will wherever possible use existing ducts and poles to deliver a new fibre cable to each property, although there will be some digging and new ducts required in some places. We thought we’d mention this as some land/homeowners might be contacted in the New Year where such new wayleaves are needed. These could need a legal agreement for both parties to enter into and this will be explained in detail if you are contacted. However, the large majority of houses will be served without the need for this.
Having reliable and fast broadband in our village is becoming a necessity for most of us and this new facility will bring an end to the frustrations of recent years, due to the unreliability of the old aluminium and copper infrastructure.
Gigaclear staff will be visible in our parish over the coming months and once they are ready to proceed, their team will be holding presentations locally for us to meet and ask questions.
When there is more news to share, your Parish Council will be in touch again.
Thank you.
Alpington and Yelverton
