Department for Culture Media and Sport written question – answered at on 27 February 2015.
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of provision of broadband in the rural areas of Ashford constituency; and if he will make a statement.
Superfast broadband coverage in the Ashford constituency is expected to be around 92 per cent at the end of phase 2 of the superfast broadband programme, subject to agreement of a phase 2 contract by Kent County Council. It is also dependent on the extent of any practical delivery issues encountered during deployment of both publicly-funded and privately-funded superfast broadband networks.
In addition, 1,975 premises in rural Ashford and Shepway will gain coverage as a result of an additional £1,593,509 of government funding to Kent for rural community projects.
