Freedom Fibre has begun work to bring full fibre to homes and businesses in north Shropshire as part of the Government’s £5bn Project Gigabit programme.
In May 2023 Freedom Fibre won a £24m Government contract to connect 12,000 hard-to-reach premises. In addition to this, Freedom Fibre will connect an additional 60,000 premises.
Following several months of design work and surveys, work to connect homes and businesses to Freedom Fibre’s network began last month and is expected to finish by the end of 2026.
Neil McArthur MBE, Chief Executive Officer, Freedom Fibre, said: “This investment will be transformational, unleashing so much potential for residents and businesses alike.”
Digital Infrastructure Minister Julia Lopez added: “With a £24m boost from the UK Government, north Shropshire is poised for a digital revolution."
As part of the project Freedom Fibre has committed to a range of social value commitments such as tree planting, volunteer days and financial support for good and green community projects.
