Rural areas of Shropshire are to get access to faster 'Gigabit capable full fibre broadband' as part of a multi-million pound investment.Thousands of homes and businesses will receive the boost after Voneus was awarded £12 million through the government’s Project Gigabit programme.
The Voneus network will be rolled out across large areas of rural Shropshire, including Alberbury, Westbury, Snailbeach, Wentnor, Ford, Hanwood, Longden, Dorrington, Leebotwood and Bicton, bringing faster, more reliable broadband to local residents and communities. Following a merger with the former Shropshire based SWS Broadband in September 2023, Voneus is already committed to building full fibre in towns and villages across South Shropshire, including Church Stretton, Bishop’s Castle and Craven Arms.
Councillor Robert Macey, Shropshire Council cabinet member with responsibility for Culture and Digital, said: “As a rural county we welcome the investment which will benefit 6,000 properties in Shropshire by providing fast, reliable broadband.
