Some of you may already have had leaflets and letters through the door from Swish telling you about their proposals to install ultra-fast broadband fibre in the village and I wanted to let everyone know a bit more about this key project.  In short, this is part of a government initiative to roll-out ultra-fast broadband across the whole country and Swish is just one of several commercial companies that are undertaking this work.  Swish has already installed fibre in Marlow and are currently working in Beaconsfield, Hazlemere and Bourne End.  They now have plans to cover Penn, Wooburn Green and Flackwell Heath, and will gradually roll it out to other local towns and villages in the future.

Of course, residents are not obliged to use the Swish service and many will consider their current service provider to be more than satisfactory.  However, for those working from home and increasingly using streaming services, ultra fast or gigabit broadband will be a great improvement.  But I’m not here to promote Swish but to highlight the impacts that residents will see whether or not they intend to use the service.  The first and most obvious will be the occasional road closure whilst the Swish contractors (MMB) dig new trenches for their fibre optic cables.  Thankfully, Swish will make use of existing BT ducts and poles wherever they can but, inevitably, there will be some roads where this is not practical.

I have been working with the Swish Project Managers to make sure that residents are made aware of any disruption they may suffer whilst the roadworks are undertaken and the company will provide me with regular programme plans that I can post and I had hoped to have done that before work commenced.  Unfortunately, they have brought the start date forward and road works have already started.

Nonetheless, I will continue to post weekly updates from the company showing where they are working – see below for this week’s notification.

Hopefully, all the required road works will be completed by October 2022.
