The list is not comprehensive. Here in Rushden there has been a frenzy of fibre installation since the start of this year but the town and exchange aren't mentioned in the list although FTTP is now available across the area.

Openreach do explicitly state:
The above table contains a list of Openreach's FTTP locations within our current Fibre First Towns, Cities and Boroughs Build Programme as well as Market towns and villages build Programmes.
It does not show FTTP deployment related to BDUK, new sites/retro new-sites and other smaller scale programmes or infill.

Openreach once again left out my exchange Cuckoo Oak. Will never get FTTP for rest of my lifetime now. I get used to it now.

I'm sure I saw a leaked internal document from them stating Cuckoo Oak exchange must be left until every other exchange in the UK has been done.

Does anybody know what they mean by 21/22 - 23/24.

Is that Financial Years? So if my exchange is in that column, can I expect it to be complete no later than March 2024?

Don't you have a solid 40/10 FTTC sync which is fast enough for your needs? You're not missing out by not having FTTP.

You've misremembered. Cuckoo Oak is to stay on copper & PSTN as a living 'heritage exchange'. Some lines are to be moved over onto a retrofitted Strowger exchange switch, currently held in preservation by BT Group.

Prestel is going to be offered again, but DSL services will remain overlaid on the old network so the government's USO can still be met.

The Rotary Telephone Club is hopeful that many of those who'll be connected to a Strowger exchange switch will take advantage of the opportunity to (re-)acquire a rotary telephone.and enjoy a calmer pace of communications in Cuckoo Oak.
