P-05-793 Hi speed broadband to Llangenny village – Correspondence from the Petitioner to Committee, 01.02.18

Thank you for advising me of the outcome of the Committee.

BT advised several residents in the village that broadband would be installed within times ranging from 3-4 months. They also advised our AM, Kirsty Williams back in October that hi speed would be installed in five months.

However, since the conclusion of their multi million pound public contract with Welsh Government on 31^st December, they have amended their website and now record that our village wont be getting hi speed broadband at all. As I indicated in previous correspondence, I don’t believe they ever intended to include our village in their plans and they have lied to our public representative.

This behaviour is utterly unacceptable from an essential public infrastructure provider in receipt of millions of pounds of public funding on behalf of Welsh Government.

So in your letter to them, please can you pick up these falsehoods and ask them to explain themselves.

There is apparently now a new stream of funding being proposed so they have an opportunity to redeem themselves. see link here http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-42861041?SThisFB

Yours sincerely
