Following a chance encounter with a couple of Openreach technicians outside the house recently, who said they were upgrading the current copper wire system (!!).  I Tweeted my incredulity and almost by return received a note about a “Joint Funding Scheme for Communities”.

I’ve now completed this as best I can and have include 37 properties in and around the valley (including an interesting 23 Business lines).

The form went back to Openreach on Monday and now we await their calculations as to the potential costs.

Watch this space!!
