Dear Resident,
We have been exploring the viability of a community broadband improvement project which will take advantage of the the Governments Gigabit fibre voucher scheme (https://gigabitvoucher.culture.gov.uk/).

Under this scheme, which aims to support getting up to gigabit speed fibre broadband direct to your house (as opposed to the current "end of the road"), residential properties can apply for a voucher of up to £1500 and businesses up to £3500 towards the costs of making this happen.

At this stage, we are canvassing residents, in order to gauge interest and we will then work with Openreach to determine the overall costings of the initiative, based on the likely uptake of the voucher scheme.

In simple terms, if enough people are interested and take up the scheme, this could be a zero cost improvement for everyone in Hillam.

Please complete the questionaire below. The form is self explanatory.
Only your address details, phone number and type of property will be uploaded to our private Openreach community portal for the purposes of assessing the feasibility of the project.

Your name and email address are required in order to be kept up to date with progress and to verify your voucher "pledge" when the project is progressed.

However, regular updates will be posted on the Parish Council facebook page https://www.facebook.com/HillamParishCouncil

If you have any further questions regarding the project, please email them to seph.oconnell.hillampc@gmail.com
