BT's Openreach programme roadshow

BT's Openreach programme has resulted in their commitment to ensuring that 80% of households in Surrey, including Brockham will have broadband access, with the Surrey Strategic Partnership also working hard to ensure that the other 20% gain access too.

Is is therefore exciting that BT are bringing their drop-in roadshow about superfast broadband to Dorking on 17 February. The Council has arranged for them to park their enormous 10 metre by 16.5 metre 'Vehicle for Change' in the Reigate Road car park, behind the sports centre from 12pm to 7.30pm. They are operating a drop-in service where residents can drop in to find out more about the benefits of superfast broadband.

Superfast broadband could bring many benefits to Surrey, including:

more efficient delivery and better access to public services
improve services for vulnerable adults
economic development and innovation
reducing carbon emissions
supporting sustainable development
better access to online services and education
enabling flexible working
improving business continuity and resilience

The Surrey Strategic Partnership has committed to ensuring that everyone in Surrey can access the internet and that the fastest broadband speeds in Europe are available to its businesses and residents
