Carnforth is joining more than 2,800 towns, cities, boroughs, villages and hamlets included in Openreach’s full fibre broadband build plans.

The once-in-a-generation, full fibre broadband upgrade will let thousands of local people and businesses connect multiple devices at gigabit-capable speeds and help businesses to trade online and compete for decades to come.

More than 4,000 homes and businesses in Carnforth will benefit as part of the company’s regular programme of build updates.

Local people can visit the Openreach website for updates and, as the build progresses, check their addresses to see when services are available from their chosen provider.

Robert Thorburn, Openreach partnership director for the north and Scotland, said: “Nobody in the UK is building full fibre faster, further or at a higher quality than Openreach.

"We’re reaching more communities than ever and our team of highly-skilled engineers, alongside our build partners, are working hard to deliver some of the fastest and most reliable broadband available.”

Across the area more than 35,000 people living and working in communities such as Hest Bank, Heysham, Lancaster and Morecambe already have access and investment is planned in other locations including Caton, Galgate and Halton.

A report by the Centre for Economics & Business Research shows that connecting everyone in the north west to full fibre broadband would create a £5.5billion boost to the local economy, by unlocking smarter ways of working, better public services and greater opportunities for the next generation of home-grown businesses.
