Max, Shropshire have completed their BDUK Open Market Review and procurement.

If you aren't on the plans you aren't getting it now until BDUK time. It's too late for Openreach to change their minds about additional cabinets.

As an aside that postcode checker isn't accurate and premises counts, depending on how you do them, should be used with caution too - does it seem likely for a moment to you BT using the largest and most expensive 288 line cabinet for an area with 190 premises?

When I did this process for an area I actually had the wiring plans for the area from the developers so I could trace wiring from cabinet.

Sorry to be a bearer of bad news.

Oh, never mind. There are local government elections coming up. You can get shot of a council that turns down a product supported both by central government and private money.

Hard to get rid of a council with the way they are voted for, as usually not all seats are up for vote each election.

The balance of power can be shifted, and there is a sense that residents and businesses would do well to show if they think the cost of the BDUK project is worth council money

in 2 minds.

I think broadband investment is important, however the council is right also when they looking at the amount it benefits, and it wouldnt sit right with me if eg. they cut budgets for vulnerable people to pay for the rollout. To me the best solution is if they cant get it from non critical sevrices then fund it via tax increases.

I got email reply from openreach with good news:

Dear Mr ***********,



Thank you for your enquiry. You are connected to the Cuckoo Oak Exchange, cabinet 8.



I have been in contact with the Project Manager and he advises that work will start on the deployment of cabinet 7,8,9,10 & 11 in a later phase, towards the end of 2013. If all goes to plan, we are hopeful the cabinet will be ready for service November 2013, barring any complications.



I suggest you continue to monitor our Web-Site which will keep you up to date with our latest deployment news for your exchange, the site also contains FAQs.



The Web-Site can be viewed using the following link:

I am sorry I cannot provide a definite date at this time.



Regards,

Julie

Tax increases for councils at the moment are not easy. Any large council wanting to put up by more than 1% has to hold a referendum. Most won't bother.

yeah silly policy although my council is raising 2% this year and was no referundum.

It's 1.99% they can put council tax up without a referendum.
