The last few months have been very frustrating as we have tried to forward our project plans. We formally set up a group with North and West Bute and Tighnabruaich in September last year with CGDT as the parent body. This was done in order to work with Community Broadband Scotland to find a cost effective solution to improve our local broadband provision. We have waited for months for a promised technical report via CBS and for more information from BT regarding their roll out programme. The technical report has now been received but it still leaves a lot of questions to be answered and the BT optimisation report is still awaited. We decided that we must make progress and so have now applied for a grant from CBS to carry out a tender process to find an appropriate supplier. We await the outcome of our application and believe that this will be soon. We will keep the community informed as soon as we have something new to report.
