Following on from our previous news item about the B4RN Broadband network currently being installed across the Parish, the project is progressing well, with Barrasford Village Hall and the school now live with 1Gb broadband and the network build extending out into Barrasford and beyond.

For residents who would like to learn more about the service, whether ir not you have already signed up, there will be 3 informal drop-in sessions over the next few weeks. These will be for anyone interested in learning more about B4RN and will be an opportunity to ask any questions you might have about the project.
