Robert Welcomes £5 Billion Gigabit Broadband Investment

Robert said: "This Government is investing £5 billion to rollout gigabit broadband across the country, with funding targetted at the hardest to reach rural areas. We want everyone in the UK to benefit from world-class connectivity no matter where they live, work or travel. So this commitment will help to deliver fast broadband to everyone – and enable rural communities like ours to prosper.

"I look forward to working with Ministers to ensure this funding benefits the most hard to reach areas of West Oxfordshire."
