Broadband

Stephen Brooks addressed the Council on the issues relating to broad band   speeds in the village of Burton. Burton Waters had sufficient speed. It was accepted due to historic reasons the speeds in Burton Village were low. It was anticipated that in Contract 3 Burton Village would get increased coverage of faster Broad band but that it was not a guaranteed outcome. However, there were two schemes from which grants could be made available if there were businesses being run from home. This could mean that the broad band could be established much quicker that waiting for Contract 3. Details of the schemes were outlined and were of interest to the Parish Council It was proposed by Cllr North and seconded by Cllr Vine that Cllr Richards be the point of contact and co ordinator to see whether there was sufficient interest for the schemes. Resolved All in favour.
