Openreach has added Pluckley, named by the Guinness World Records as the most haunted village in Britain, to its full fibre networks.
Locals in the Kent town used the UK Government’s Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme, alongside a contribution from Openreach, to help fund the village’s digital transformation.
The project has addressed 600 homes and businesses in the area which can now upgrade to ultrafast full fibre.
Openreach’s Chief Engineer, Andy Whale said: “Our engineers, local residents and highways authorities worked together to overcome many challenges and it’s a tremendous example of what can be achieved when communities come together for the benefit of everyone.
