The Liberal Democrat MP for Westmorland and Lonsdale, Tim Farron, has once again gone to bat for UK broadband ISP B4RN<\/a> after the Building Digital UK<\/a> (BDUK) agency unexpectedly pulled the rug out from under one of their rural gigabit voucher based full fibre builds in Cumbria (i.e. the project for Warcop, Sandford, Coupland Beck, Bleatarn and Ormside).<\/p>\n

Much as we reported last week (details here<\/a>), the planned deployment appeared to be progressing toward the start of build and had already been designated as a Voucher Priority Area<\/strong><\/a> (VPA) by BDUK. This is normally used to avoid voucher projects stalling when clashing with the wider Project Gigabit procurement. Both sides of the programme focus on the same sort of rural areas, so BDUK has to avoid duplicating public investment.<\/p>\n

However, at the 11th hour and for reasons that remain unclear, BDUK recently declared that the deployment was no longer designated as a VPA and instead placed the area into the initial scope of the regional supplier procurement. This reflected the deferred scope of the Regional Suppler (type B) procurement in Cumbria, which was won by commercial operator Fibrus<\/a> all the way back in November 2022 (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The good news is that a small ray of hope emerged today after Tim Farron MP<\/strong> managed to raise the matter in parliament during two separate, albeit roughly related, debates – one on the technology sector and the other on rural volunteer groups  (here<\/a> and here<\/a>). In one of those he even got a useful response.<\/p>\n

Tim Farron MP said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The tech sector in rural Cumbria depends on reliable broadband. Communities in Warcop, Sandford, Coupland Beck, Blea Tarn and Ormside in Westmorland have signed up to the community interest company and volunteer group B4RN<\/a> to provide a gigabit connection for just \u00a333 a month, but the communities have been suddenly designated a low priority area, which means that their vouchers have been removed, putting the whole project at risk.<\/p>\n

Will the Chancellor commit to supporting those communities, residents and businesses to ensure that they get the vouchers that they were initially promised?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In response, the Chancellor of the UK government, Jeremy Hunt<\/strong>, has promised to “happily look into what has happened … We strongly support all rural areas having access to gigabyte broadband, as an important part of our policy. We have made a lot of progress on that. I will look into detail of what is happening in the hon. Gentleman\u2019s area and get back to him<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

We should point out that a number of other gigabit voucher projects have since informed us that they too have been impacted by a similar decision from BDUK. We should also add that this isn\u2019t the first time that Farron has lent his support to B4RN<\/a>, and the last time did result in some action, which is actually how the VPA designation came into existence in the first place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
