A supplier choice meeting was recently held where quotes for a full fibre broadband build in the community were presented.

In a report to a recent meeting of Amroth Community Council, it was highlighted that the ‘community working group’ decided to proceed with Broadway Partners.

Broadway will now begin to contact residents and businesses, introducing themselves, explaining the process and what happens next.

As indicated at the meeting, the first step will be for DCMS to approve the PRP, after which Broadway will begin seeking voucher validation.

Once vouchers have been validated, there is a 12-month window for Broadway Partners to connect properties before receiving any funding.

Pembrokeshire County Council’s Digital Team will be in communication with all residents and businesses to keep them informed of these proceedings, and very much on hand throughout the process.

“This is a great opportunity for all residents and businesses in the Amroth and Stepaside Project Area to have access to full fibre to the premises,” said a spokesperson for the Community Council.

“With the current telephone system to cease sometime in the next five years or so, calls will be made via the internet and this new infrastructure will be invaluable.

“Please support the project and spread the word to neighbours so more people can enjoy better connectivity in the Amroth area.”
