FullFibre is adding 26 communities to its Midlands East and West regions rollout, using 750,000 meters of fibre to connect nearly 80,000 further premises.

The new communities are Church Stretton and Much Wenlock in the Midlands West region and Southam, Kibworth, Fleckney, Ashbourne, Lutterworth, Market Bosworth, Thrapston, Stoney Stanton, Sapcote,
Southwell, Barrow upon Soar, Moira, Markfield, Woodford Halse, Byfield, Barton-under-Needwood, Alrewas, Asfordby, Bottesford, Kingsbury, Kineton, New and Old Arley, and Shenstone in the Midlands East.
