BROADBAND TRIGGER LEVEL SET FOR CRAVEN ARMS! BT have this week announced that they have set trigger levels for another 2,300 exchanges - and Craven Arms is one of them! This is tremendous news - we now know that if 350 people/businesses register to say they are interested, the exchange will be enabled. This is achievable - Church Stretton have a trigger level of 500 so we have fewer people to find than they do! Last month Matt Smith, Project Leader for Craven Arms Together, met with Paul Nash of Switch on Shropshire, http://www.shropshireonline.gov.uk/it.nsf/open/B5EB955FBA7DF82E80256D1200433759 and Ian Banks, Regional Manager for BT in the West Midlands, to discuss bringing broadband to Craven Arms. Andrew Corbett and Anna Wilde of PerfectArc Ltd went along to represent the Business Network and to encourage BT to enable the Craven Arms exchange for broadband as soon as possible.
