Rural Broadband

Stratford upon Avon District Council is keen to improve broadband in rural areas, particularly in villages miles from the nearest exchange, such as Whichford and Ascott.  


Please complete the surveys!


The Government allocated £530million to improve broadband in the UK of which our local group of Warwickshire, Coventry and Solihull will receive just over £4 million. To show that you are interested in better broadband please got to the web-site www.cswbroadband.org.uk and complete the surveys that you will find there.  If your internet connection in Whichford and Ascott is for business and personal use please complete both surveys.  The more people from a single village, town or community who complete a survey, the better the chance that they can improve the broadband in their area, so please take a minute to complete the survey and pass the news of this website on to your friends, family and co-workers.


Action Group


Bronwen Corrall is the Whichford and Ascott ‘Champion’ for the Broadband Project:  http://www.cswbroadband.org.uk.    


Together with the Parish Council Chairman, Geoff Bromage and local residents she is hoping to help to bring faster broadband to this area.  She will be receiving and distributing leaflets in the near future and  will put updates on this village web-site


If you would like to join the Action Group for Whichford and Ascott to lobby for better broadband please contact the editor.
