Hundreds of households and businesses in historic Ironbridge will be able to connect to faster fibre broadband earlier than expected as part of the Government’s Broadband Delivery UK (BDUK) programme.
Lead partners Telford & Wrekin Council and BT today confirmed that thanks to the £5.6 million Superfast Telford partnership, around 500 properties in the area will get access to the technology from the Summer, with many more able to benefit in the months that follow.
It is hoped the arrival of the new technology at the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution around nine months early will be a huge boost for tourism and the local community.
“Close collaboration with other important projects going on in this sensitive area of the borough, including the upgrading of The Wharfage and Tontine Hill, has enabled us to complete the necessary planning and survey work much earlier than planned and accelerate this part of the Superfast Telford rollout.”
