In North Shropshire, Building Digital UK (BDUK) is seeking to agree the extent to which Openreach may be able to extend its network to reach premises that require support from Project Gigabit.

This work will not be impacted by BDUK’s integration into the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT).
