20th June UPDATE:
Openreach has been paid 50% of the project cost with the remaining balance owed upon completion.
We are pending assignment of a Project Manager and delivery plan.
We raised a total of £48,548 which included contributions from 103 households, 92 of which paid £480 or more and the remainder spanned £200 to £420.
The Openreach Commercial team has now passed us to the Delivery team and we are pending the assignment of a Project Manager, who will finalise plans and timelines.
The last update we had can be seen below:
The first 3 to 6 six months from contract sign are for detailed planning of the solution. This is where our planners will order the kit and build the whole plan on our systems to create a pipeline of work for our workforce.
They will also determine if any traffic management or road closure are required and if so we will need to line up local highways.
Once this is all completed they will issue job packs out to our suppliers to begin the build usually around the 6 month mark
The rollout of our fibre programmes is extremely complex and as a business we need to manage our resources sensibly in line with our commercial model but to also to ensure that we are also balancing this with the needs of the community. Therefore our resources are managed in stages and across the country to ensure we can hit all of our contract dates.
However please be assured that if everything is straightforward we will always endeavour to deliver our community projects in the soonest time possible.
