Superfast broadband - have you registered your interest yet ?

The current level of registrations on the "Gigaclear" website show that approx 138 people have registered their interest in superfast fibre broadband across Downe and Cudham.   However, we need this figure to be approx 366, so there is a long way to go !!!    In total, I currently estimate we have 915 properties included in Gigaclear's current plans, so there are a lot of people out there not getting the message.
