Broadband meeting
|
|
|||
|
|
||||
|
Everyone is invited to a
meeting at the village hall, 8pm on Wednesday 8th
February, to hear about the Superfast Berkshire
project, and whether it may help Hamstead’s
broadband. A project representative will be
present, as will parish councillors, to ask and
answer questions. The meeting has been organised by
Chris Allen of ORC Elm Farm, who is the new point
of contact for anyone with queries about broadband
in Hamstead.
See www.superfastberkshire.org.uk for project details, and this
site’s business page for information on the current
broadband situation in the village.
