Broadband Connection

Hayley Sylvester and Carl Knight did a Quickline broadband presentation

Quickline not only did “line of sight” connection but also fibre. They would plot out an area and apply the best method available to the properties.

However, it needed community engagement and a sufficient community response to make it viable.

Mr Green expressed and interest in having it in Burton Village. Mr and Mrs Brumby expressed an interest in having it in Grang de Lings.

Quickline confirmed that they would be in contact with how to engage with residents. Richard Smith confirmed that he had leafleted but the response had been low and more information was needed as to what the company could offer. The University offered facilities for a presentation event.

Quickline agreed to be in contact with the Clerk.
