Since B4RN decided not to proceed with their build of our project over two years ago, we have been somewhat in limbo waiting for other opportunities to enhance our broadband from the mixture of ADSL and FTTC within the parishes of Mollington, Lea-by-Backford, Backford, Chorlton by Backford and parts of adjoining parishes. One such opportunity, collapsed shortly after it was announced, due mainly to the company concerned deciding to include Saughall exchange area in their proposal. CWAC decided that this suggestion was outside the scope of the funding constraints, probably correctly.
Eventually, in May 2024, Broadband Delivery UK (BDUK) announced the contract for Lot17, covering the whole of Cheshire, had been awarded to Freedom Fibre. Unfortunately, in March 2025, Freedom Fibre decided to pull out of the contract. BDUK are now urgently attempting to find an alternative contractor to fulfill Lot17.
