As some of you may already know, a representative of County Broadband has been approaching parishioners regarding installing fibre broadband direct to homes in the village.

Simon Biddulph is looking after Claxton. He can be contacted on 07946 169577 or at [email protected], where he will be able to answer any of your queries or questions.  He will be able to go through the offers available and see whether they meet individuals’ needs.

County Broadband require 20% of the village (roughly 20 households) to sign up in order for them to provide this service to the whole village.  As part of this deal they will install fibre broadband direct to the Village Hall at no additional cost.

District Councillor Vic Thomson confirmed this will be the quickest way for Claxton to get fibre broadband to the home, as there are no other companies coming to the village anytime in the near future.

The Parish Council will have an agenda item on this at September’s meeting being held on Tuesday 19th.
