Horsley Ultrafast Broadband Task Group

The project is being spearheaded by a Task Group comprising:
Colin Carmichael (Parish Councillor, The Highlands)
Steve Harvey (Parish Councillor, Woodland Drive)
Stuart Bowden (Broadband Road Lead, Rowbarns Way)
Chris Woods (Broadband Road Lead, Heath View)
This group is supported by 45 ‘road leads’ and leaflet distributors who have acted as the main link between the project team and individual households and businesses. A big ‘thank you’ is given from the Parish Council to this hard working group for ensuring the success of the pledging process and additional communications with neighbours.
