Richard with Secretary of State discussing broadband in NE BEds

On Tuesday, Richard met with the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport to discuss broadband capacity in North East Bedfordshire.

Richard Fuller MP said:

I was pleased to meet with the Secretary of State to discuss broadband coverage in my constituency and Bedfordshire as a whole.

While there has been progress in broadband rollout with 97% of the constituency now having access to Superfast Broadband and Fibre and the trebling of gigabit capacity since 2019, there is still more to do and I made the case for speeding up the rollout to areas without coverage.
