Cabinets encountering problems:
Leire 5 (Claybrooke Magna) – Work is slowly progressing in Claybrooke Magna. Some of the fibre has been blown (air pressure used to force fibre cables along the ducts) and Openreach have begun working on clearing the blockages. We are on track for the work to be completed by the end of May.
Market Bosworth 5 (Barlestone) – The remainder of the main fibre network (spine) is being built and the team are still hopeful for June
Stoke Golding 7 (Higham on the Hill) – BT engineers are still investigating the problems and hope to have some more information on the next steps forward early next week.
