Ivan getting to work with his John Deere digger at Fairbank Farm
80 houses are live and enjoying B4RN's gigabit broadband service and more are ready to be connected.Our 3 fantastic mole plough teams are continuing to rip through the main route meters. Steve Foster and Tony Middleton have joined forces to complete Route 3 (Chapel Lane to Blackmoss) and Tony Swidenbank is working hard on the outer reaches of Route 2 (Ratherheath Lane and Plumgarth).
Northerly out post of Blackmoss, Route 3 connected with 7mm duct
Crook's volunteer dig and fit team have glided through another 100m+ of lawn and yard, unravelling metres of 7mm duct, readying 9 more homes on Routes 3 and 5 for connection.
A big thank you to our new volunteers, Carol, Di and Michael who got stuck in to some heavy picking, digging and cable laying at the Ashes Farm Cluster and Holden Hall on Friday.
Thank-you Di and Carol for the delicious lemon drizzle and ginger cakes and coffees 😍😋
