FIBRE VOUCHER TARGET ACHIEVED! THANK YOU!![]()
![]()
We have secured the required £141,000 in voucher pledges for a Fibre Community Partnership to the 114 homes in the parish where nobody had any plans to install fibre broadband.![]()
![]()
A huge "Thank you!" to everyone who pledged their vouchers, and a massive "Well done" to the people who made phone calls, leafleted and knocked on doors to help bring in the last few validations as today's 5pm deadline approached.![]()
![]()
We don't expect to have any further news for a couple of weeks now, but will keep you updated about this and any other fibre broadband information that comes our way.![]()

Please note the request for people to validate their pledges for fibre vouchers only applies to a small number of postcodes (114 addresses) where we discovered no-one has any plans to install fibre. The people needing to validate know who they are as they have already pledged. If you are not one of these, someone, somewhere already has plans to bring fibre to you, probably under BT's Universal Service Obligation. We can't find out any more than that at this time but will share information as it emerges.
Bishopstone residents - have you validated your fibre voucher?![]()

A few addresses in Bishopstone have not yet confirmed their voucher pledge. Because of data protection law, Openreach can't share the exact addresses, but all the outstanding vouchers are in Bishopstone, including two in SN6 8QB.![]()

Reminders have been sent today by email and text to everyone who still needs to validate their claim, including businesses who will have been asked to provide proof that they are a business.![]()

Deadline is this Friday, 12th August, so please act now!![]()

URGENT ACTION NEEDED TO VALIDATE FIBRE BROADBAND PLEDGES![]()

A small but absolutely critical number of residents have still not validated their government vouchers. We need every single one validated to meet the cost of installing the network. Please spread the word!![]()

The missing validations are:![]()

Hinton Parva 3 residential and 1 business![]()
Bishopstone 5 residential and 2 businesses![]()

Reminders have been sent by text and email to all eleven this morning. Please check your email and phone and validate now if you haven't yet done so. The email it will come from is gigabit.vouchers@notifications.service.gov.uk and the text message sender usually shows as Gigabit Voucher or DCMS.![]()

We need the vouchers validating immediately or we are in danger of losing the scheme. The deadline is 5pm on Friday 12th August.![]()

Because of data protection law Openreach can't even tell us the postcodes where these addresses are located - which is extremely frustrating!! Please, spread the word to your friends and neighbours, particularly any who may not be on social media.![]()
