New Letter to Richard Bacon MP about rural broadband

At its meeting on 13 January the Parish Council agreed a proposal for a fresh letter to our Member of Parliament, Richard Bacon, to draw his attention to the village’s position on broadband, and its disappointment that the “alternative solution” for Claxton will end up being considerably more expensive than traditional solutions.  This puts rural locations such as Claxton at a major disadvantage compared to those urban and rural locations (including neighbouring Loddon and Chedgrave) which are enjoying the benefits of super-fast broadband through fibre-optic connections at much lower costs than for satellite broadband.  The Clerk wrote to Mr Bacon on 19 January and his letter appears below.  It has been acknowledged by Mr Bacon’s office.
