Gigaclear and Essex County Council have reached a settlement agreement in relation to the legal proceedings concerning broadband delivery contracts in Essex.

Giganet is investing £20m to bring full fibre services to more than 18,500 homes in Hurstpierpoint and Storrington, West Sussex.
The build officially kicked off in the summer of 2022 and will connect properties in phases over the next 18 months. More than 120 jobs are expected to be created in the process
The overall project is expected to reach completion in early 2024 but the first services will go live sooner.
Giganet’s is working with local authorities and community groups, including West Sussex County Council, to provide residents with information on the status of the build and any potential roadworks.
Kevin Barry, Chief Network Build Officer at Giganet, said: “Large or small, we’re connecting communities and making sure that no one is left behind.”
