As most residents will be aware, the installation of Full Fibre has begun in the village. Currently Hunters Chase has been connected, as has the first part of Lagham Road from the Sports & Community Association entrance to the first corner. Some work has been carried out in Easter Way.

In parallel a separate project, the ‘South Godstone Exchange Project’ has been started. That project is also being carried out by Openreach, but is a semi-Government funded one, it has a more fixed time scale, and covers Tillburstow Hill Road down to Carlton Road and Byers Lane. It is also run in a different manner, to the village project and requires Openreach to have a project manager who liaises with the customers included. The area covered is considered hard to reach in a normal commercial scheme, which is where the government support comes in.

There is currently no published plan from Openreach for the village project. This is a Commercial project under the full control of Openreach and we have no fixed project manager or point of contact to obtain relevant information. The Association is doing all it can to get full disclosure of the project plans and we will report more information as it becomes available.
