Shropshire Council has a contract with Airband to build a new ultrafast FTTP (Fibre To The Premises) broadband network. This will provide connectivity to some premises in parts of Bayston Hill parish where superfast broadband is not currently available. This is part of Shropshire Council’s aspiration to provide broadband in some of our most rural areas.
As part of Airband’s contract responsibility they have acquired the necessary industry ‘code powers’, which are granted to telecommunication operators like BT Openreach under national legislation (‘Electronic Communications Code’) to build telecommunication networks. The powers are specifically in place to ensure telecommunication operators have the statutory entitlements to install, maintain, adjust, repair or alter apparatus on public and private land.
The legislation means that Airband can build and install new telecommunications infrastructure (e.g. cabinets and poles) without the need to apply for planning permission.
At the same time as having permissions to build the network, Airband will look to repurpose and use existing BT Openreach poles and ducts where these are available for reuse to minimise disruption to the local community. Where this is not possible, Airband will install new infrastructure.
In all cases the network is being designed to ensure that the most remote rural premises will get access to an improved broadband service. In some cases, the network will be built past premises that already have access to a superfast broadband connection.
As part of ‘code powers’, Airband are entitled to:
Wherever possible, Airband will use highways land to install their equipment. This requires no landowner consents. In all cases, should there be a need to install equipment on privately-owned land, Airband will seek consent and appropriate permissions from landowners.
We wish to notify you that over the coming weeks, Airband will be undertaking work in the parish, possibly including some weekend work. Where there is a requirement for ‘road closures’ to undertake works, the appropriate permissions will be obtained from our colleagues in Shropshire Highways.
Airband are happy to answer any queries your councillors and parishioners may have about the new broadband network and will be happy to attend virtual meetings of the Parish Council. Please contact Claire Hollier at claire.hollier@airband.co.uk
