Swardeston Parish Council

You may have heard about the Better Broadband for Norfolk (BBfN) Project which is facilitating the provision of Superfast Broadband in areas of Norfolk where installation is not commercially viable.

A new communications cabinet (reference BBfN Mulbarton 15) is to be installed in the grass verge, opposite Town Cottage, The Common, Swardeston, (5.5m left of the existing BT pole no 75 and 1.8m back from road edge) to serve residents & businesses in the immediate surrounding area. No date for installation is currently available, however the BBfN Programme is due to complete by the end of March 2020.

You can check to see which BT structure your property is served from and available speeds using the BT Wholesale Line Checker https://www.btwholesale.com/includes/adsl/adsl.htm.
Search using the Address Checker option, then enter your postcode, press submit and select your address from the list.

Once a fibre solution is available a “VDSL” option will be shown. Prior to implementation copper based broadband speeds are shown as “ADSL”.

A consultation  is underway on The Greater Norwich  Local Plan and runs to 15 March 2018. This is your chance to have your say on the future strategic policies and development in the Greater Norwich Area which includes Swardeston.
