The hubs provide ultra-fast public and encrypted Wi-Fi, USB ports for rapid device charging, free phone calls, a direct 999 call function, plus the ability to display community and emergency access messaging. In a report, planning officials said that although the proposed hub would be located to the rear of Home Bargains and close to commercial shop fronts, it would be directly opposite The Boards Head, a Grade II listed building and adjacent to other properties of similar status.
