Dentdale Show

We are all obviously very disappointed that the Dentdale Show has been cancelled due to the weather. We understand that the show ground area is just too wet to be safe and with yet more rain forecast this weekend it obviously makes sense to cancel.

Members of the Fibre Garden Team were to be at the show to promote the provision of super fast fibre optic broadband in the dale, provide project updates and answer any queries from residents.

Useful Meeting

Members of the Fibre Garden board met with Cumbria County Council with the aim of providing an update on our project and for us to understand where CCC were in the planned roll out of Broadband across the County. We also invited Network Rail, with whom we are in discussion with for the provision of backhaul, to introduce them to CCC as well as BDUK.

It was a very productive meeting with much to follow up and progress to ensure a close working relationship between all parties.
