The final piece of the Goudhurst broadband puzzle has fallen into place after Openreach announced that project B2 will move onto its delivery phase. 

Hook Green has taken a giant leap forward in its connectivity today, following the successful conclusion of its Community Fibre Project.

The rural community signed a contract with Openreach in June 2020 covering 55 houses, with funding secured via community vouchers and Kent top ups. 

A further 80 households around Goudhurst will soon receive fibre broadband after project B1 was approved to move into delivery stage. It is estimated the build time will be 12 months. 

Goudhurst project A has now reached its funding target and delivery of the project will now proceed of the next 12 months, Openreach has confirmed.

Greg has welcomed the announcement by Building Digital UK (BDUK) to give the green light to Goudhurst’s Project A Community Fibre Partnership which will see more than 350 properties offered full fibre connections.

Households in Ashurst are starting to benefit from super-fast broadband as Openreach nears completion of rolling out its full fibre network, which will also be extended to properties in the Stone Cross area. 

Greg has written to the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, Oliver Dowden, to not delay its approval for the Goudhurst Demand Lead Project to go ahead when it comes to the department to be signed off. 

Constituents throughout Tunbridge Wells who suffer from poor Internet connectivity will now have the right to request a decent broadband connection from the universal service provider, BT.

Greg has welcomed Openreach's announcement that Tunbridge Wells is to be included in its First Fibre programme which will see the town's fibre-optic infrastructure greatly upgraded over the course of the next 18 months.

Greg has welcomed the news that more than 500 homes in Rusthall will benefit from faster Broadband after a protracted campaign to upgrade one of the main cabinets in the village came to a close.
