Over 4,000 tenant households in Solihull will be able to benefit from fibre following a partnership between The Metropolitan Borough of Solihull and CityFibre.
Via the blanket wayleave agreement, CityFibre will install full fibre to every property, ensuring the network build can go ahead smoothly and tenants can access better connectivity.
Bashir Ahmed, CityFibre’s Area Manager for Solihull, said: “For tenants in particular, better connectivity could help to maximise access to switching services for better utility deals, as well as other services including tenant portals and public service systems, such as those provided by the Department for Work and Pensions and the local council.”
Julian Knight MP, MP for Solihull added: “This agreement is great news for Solihull – ensuring no-one is left behind is critical as we upgrade the UK’s digital infrastructure.”
Across Solihull, CityFibre is investing £25m in delivering a town-wide network. Services are now ready to go live in Shirley and Solihull central and builds set to get underway soon in Lyndon, Elmdon and Sill Hill.
