Bolsover MP Mark Fletcher has visited new build housing in his constituency where Openreach is making full fibre available.
Fletcher was given a tour of the work, with engineers explaining how the build in urban areas is happening alongside rural work
Fletcher visited the local telephone exchange to look at where the Openreach network starts and Oxcroft Lane, a new build housing estate.
Bolsover was included in Openreach’s full fibre build in May 2021. Since then, engineers have been working there and in other nearby places including Clowne, Chesterfield, Shirebrook and Staveley.
Mark Fletcher, said: “I know from my inbox that this is a critical issue for many of my constituents and the progress, through technology, which is being made to deliver better and faster broadband is vital; vital not only to individuals and families within their homes, but also for the many small enterprises and businesses, who support our local economy, and for whom a good and reliable broadband connection is so important.”
