Freedom Fibre is no longer able to complete a contract to roll out gigabit-capable broadband to 12,000 premises in north Shropshire in full, due to changes in the external market, in a new report from the government’s Building Digital UK (BDUK) Agency.

GoFibre is expanding its broadband network across Teesdale, with the rollout started in Ovington, County Durham as part of Project Gigabit.
The village joins other communities in the Durham-Teesdale area benefitting from the programme, including Hutton Magna and Gainford.
GoFibre has already begun work, and once the build is complete, 69 properties across Ovington Lane and Clifford's View as well as local areas will have faster connections of up to 1000Mbps.
This development comes as part of GoFibre's ongoing commitment to deliver full fibre broadband to hard-to-reach premises across Scotland and the North of England.
GoFibre’s work in Ovington commenced in mid-December, and the first properties are expected to be connected by February, with the entire project slated for completion by March 2025.
